Solitude

Hearth and Home

Summer night alone

Remembering self in joy.

Angels surrounding.

Angel Wings

Angel Wings

Summoning the wings

Of angels to shield from pain

Brought joy and laughter.

Days of wine and song

Together touching the sky

Stretch before you now.

Resurrected Easter Lily

The Easter lily thrown away in the backyard, only to spring to life as my mother begins her journey of passing. Falls Church, Virginia.  Monday, 23 June 2014.

What was thrown away

Has burst forth with brilliant life

To give joy and hope.
