We can reach the sea
They won't follow me
The shadows they fear the sun
We'll make it if we run

Lightning

Lightning, originally uploaded by iCoty.

A tree of light, a tree of spark.
Light, then sound, paints the dark.
A beautiful work of natures touch.
the power to grasp, a bit too much.

The other side of this beauty's burst
lightning's force stabs at the earth
can stop a life or start fires anew
as rain surrounds the horizon's view.

But writers can have a similar spark
a lightning thought light's up their dark
the words appear with a muses touch
the literary challenge a bit too much.

The other side of this writers lament
the struggle for words to help cement
the meaning behind the story to tell
sometimes lost in the brain from hell.

Evening Reflections

Evening Reflections, originally uploaded by iCoty.

Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to her concerned daughters; Constance, a content wife and mother, and Nina, a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man she loved more than any other. But who is this “Harris,” wonder her daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to take stock of Ann’s life and their own lives, their mother is tended to by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend some fifty years ago, when she was Ann Grant, a young woman who has come from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid-of-honor, rather than her own mother, for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her life, and those of her daughters, forever.

Flowing Rock

Flowing Rock, originally uploaded by iCoty.

A lava flow is a (moving) outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. The term lava flow is commonly shortened to lava. Explosive eruptions produce a mixture of volcanic ash and other fragments called tephra, rather than lava flows. The word 'lava' comes from Italian, and is probably derived from the Latin word labes which means a fall or slide.

Gentle Rapids

Some people like to play in
gentle rapids in tiny kayaks that slip and slide. Like skim
boarding, the goal is to catch a little run and then try again
