Toes to the edge, arms wide
& upon butterfly wings, I dive
To be deafened by wordless songs
To skydive beneath dried water
& float on wingless feathers
So let’s get lost
& hold my hand to climb
Let’s risk those deeper waters
To run naked through the garden
To watch a turtle mid-float
as hope rises in the rain
For this is nature’s gift
of a life lived
with no need to explain.
(Consider this my excuse/explanation for my absence from WordPress these past few weeks…)

Beautiful words – and your pictures, as always, are stunning. Hard to imagine anything more perfect. I love the phrase “as hope rises in the rain” – that’s an absolute cracker.
No excuses or explanation needed – welcome back, we’ve missed you 🙂

I guess that may be the secret to being answerable only to yourself when taking a chance?… Again, thank you for your comment, Shannon, it very much appreciated.
