i dance solo, she replied haughtily, sidestepping her would-be suitor...

liquid diamonds, a disappearing fortune...

life in miniature...

adorned...

tightly bound, in the darkness, waiting for a moment to explode...

finding centre...

courtly love, bowing near yet never touching...

the sweetness of solitude, an abundance of silence...

connected...

summer leaves, early morning kisses still lingering...

all seeing, all loving, all alive...

a demure glance, lashes seeking the sun, wishing to be seen...

in alignment, facing forward into the great beyond...

still life, though tired and near it's end... blinking in the sunlight...

head in the clouds, knowing there is more than feet on the ground...

fusion of fire and ice, words that will not be contained, tendrils grasping at freedom...

end of a season...

the gathering...

what creature through calm waters carefully approaches, silent and loud as thunder...

desiccated, left for seasons and time...

bird in the city, feathers ruffled and blinding - welcome this girl home...

full moon rising...

dawn on black wings...

as above, so below... breathing alignment...

between tears and the ever-clear, lies magic...

to fly unencumbered, rising towards the infinite blue...

reborn into the calm chaos of rediscovery...

free...

uncontained... breaching the fire and finding light...

out of the darkness, love on red wings...

wild at heart, yearning for adventure...

car park...

pure abandon, sheer joy in every flyaway mud splatter...

all seeing eye...

escape...

fluffy flakes were falling, on soft winds of disillusion...

snapshot...

still life with tulip...

the gathering...

overjoyed and overgrown... life at it's fullest...

impending storm, beautiful and terrifying... passing by...

the returned...

echos of lives lived, whisper of love, joy, pain...

reaching skyward, longing for the breathlessness of space...

drawn together, teeth and ice, eating through the night...

lighting the way...

an end, a beginning... the two blending into one, transcendence...

marooned and malfunctioning, blindly stumbling toward the promise of safe haven...

contortionist, emotions wrapped around every cell, every memory, twisting and tangled...

eyes, liquid made ice, melting my heart...
