Staring
into the essence
of what sunlight
often hides

Within
plain sight
the truth takes flight
— in nature’s great disguise

Just think

In a world without paper
there are no trees
no roots
no tattoos
no love
no ink.

SUN

You were darkness,
I searched for your light,
I've realized I'm worthy of the sun.

morning serenity

swan glides through the mist,

rippling glass of tranquil lakes,

nature's breath in peace.

St Paul's feast day today we get a public holiday ❣️

Ironic

We cut one another
Down to the very flesh
While we miss each other
Deep inside our bones

Isn’t that ironic?

Why do we tend to hurt the ones we love (and vice versa)?

Entangled particles

Entangled particles

I want to be
Like
Entangled particles,
You and me,
Wherever we are
I'll know how you feel.

Subatomic 'twins' photons created by splitting a single photon in half.

Dandelion

Did you ever
a dandelion pick,
blow each seed
and make a wish.

Was that wish,
a wish for wealth
or was that wish
a wish for health?

Or was that wish
a wish to see,
a field of gold
in front of thee.

Real or Not Real

Aimée

Real or Not Real

I enjoy my lab and goggles
I love my church and scripture
But my soul longs for ball gowns
And my heart awaits adventure

I'll make a good scientist
A faithful wife and Christian
But still I dream of princes
And righting unrightoeus dominion

For while I have a scholar's mind
And all I've ever learned is reality
I was born with a writer's blood
And would rather breathe in fantasy
