An Absence of Threat

An Absence of Threat I am drawn, without being cognizant of it, to humans and places and animals who are non-threatening to themselves, and to others. Photography by KatrineDunnPhotography©2020 Poetry by FawnRising©2021 February 19, 2020 Le Lac du mon Père Crystal Lake Florida USA Earth

Tender Mercies

Family might grow these in a real Tender Mercy Garden Sometimes it is friends ~ Whoever steps up to offer respite for our tired and wearily ragged souls Try to understand They adore you and want you alive safe and thriving Be aware of their weariness in the event you overextend them Allow spaces Allow […]

We Shall Persevere

Patterns. No matter the age or condition of your human brain, it is constantly seeking three things. One of these seemingly forever searches is the identification of patterns. How do you know this is a tree? It is the pattern of each leaf hanging from a limb, a stalk, a stem. Their edges are […]

I Wish Compassion For Your Heart

It escapes us the way pain embroiled in others can be disguised yet we can selfishly believe they must have done something to deserve it or they are hiding past trauma or their ego is so overblown they cannot muster a shred of caring for yet another’s pain and thus end up appearing self-absorbed critical […]

Perhaps It Is Time

And My memories of times when finding disgust and disappointment in friends lovers and family; when reactions and responses to difficulties wallowed in a sea of disregard, criticism, and judgment — What might I do with these? May I reflect, pray, and meditate to find a bit of glory in these events? Of course, […]

May I Have This Dance?

We are Daughters of Life’s Dance Our mother at sixteen leaves high school at the end of the ninth grade She is pregnant. A waltz of missteps a round of wooden stick horses Requests for hugs and touches of the clear crystal lake that echo our grandfather’s national broken record in backstroke […]

Upon Waking Fifty Years Ago

No breath cold white silence I try to breathe into him it is his first night in his own nursery with colorings of crayons by his sisters their names on the walls now a morgue. Poetry & Illustration by FawnRising©2021 February 10, 2021 Le Lac du mon Père Crystal Lake Florida Earth

Shredded

All for reasons unexplained Unknown Hidden Shredded. Poetry & Illustration by FawnRising©2021 February 9, 2021 Le Lac du mon Père Crystal Lake Florida USA Earth
