My Great, Great, Grandfather lived long enough, here in the Dry Land, to teach his wide eyed great, great Grandson that sorrow was a thing with a will of it's own. He said birds that blotted out the sun with their dark feathers also scattered grief as they flew like tear stained shadows across a glowering sky. He was a poet and he was right. If he was real, this one would be for him.

Mikel.

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile. quote: my friend Lori.

I see what you mean about picking up on your mood. We seem to be in a sobering place this day. Your idea is well thought out and planned to bring with it the fullest emotional impact. Well done.

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Very intense and the lines are great against the dark clouds. Very moody.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I had this in VB today and gave it a 10. I was so impressed and it took me a while to find it. Very creative and I really like the message. I think mayhaps you're the poet.

Ohhhhh I love this photo! The drama is just magnificent! The grayness and then the black of the birds..wow, the moods I feel here are just amazing. It sounds to me like you have some of that poet within you also. I began writing poetry about seven yrs ago, and as soon as I get my website up again, you'll sure be welcome to come visit it and let me know your thoughts. I love what you wrote here even...about the birds and the tear stained shadows...would you allow me to use the words "tear stained shadows" and write a poem of my own? Let me know please..verena

Life is like a grindstone.Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

I love your work, this one really caught my eye today. I find it very dramatic. I am fairly new to Caedes but noticed your work from the beginning. I think you have a great eye & you are most creative.
