Cruel
Posted on May 10, 2021 5 Comments
Life will be kind in it’s cruelty and cruel in it’s kindness. It will give heightened touch and the mask of blindness. Sweetest roses, and sharpest thorns. Softest fur, and sharpest horns. Life will draw blood, but only to leave us scars. Memories of where we have been, and memories of who we are. Memories […]
My Garden

The ‘greening rain’ comes each May and the delicate grass blades push upward toward the light. It is during this time each year, I walk the paths laid out some years ago.
