There’s a vast space between what could have been and what is. I crawled through the vortex, discovering sounds of familiar voices.

They stockpiled secrets kept in nest boxes, stacking them to the tops of grey ceilings. All along, I felt I was uncovering something important. I grew in awe of them, despite myself. I became more reserved, hiding behind these giants in these small spaces.

In the vast space between, I slept through days and nights, losing touch. Things I thought I knew became more ambiguous. The mysteries I sought had swallowed me.

Where did you go?

I lost myself trying to find you.

Now, we’re both lost and without a face to place blame.

    The image drew me to this post, a wonderful shot of solidified past and temporary presence, then you scrambled my brain with your twisted labyrinth of words! Wonderful πŸ™‚

      Thank you so much !!!! I always try to make the photos go with the post as much as possible, even if it won’t make sense to the readers at time. It’s a great joy to me choosing one of the photos I took. Sometimes I look through my photos to find one to write about . Other times, I wrote first and find the photo. It’s a fun process πŸ™‚ I’m really happy your enjoyed it.

        I often struggle for words and let my photos do the talking πŸ™‚ As long as it stays fun and doesn’t become a chore πŸ˜€

        Exactly !!! Nah I don’t think it could ever become a chore . I just am working on getting my head back on straight after this loss. Writing helps but I don’t want to post consistent bleak words, either. Some of those pieces are the best but I don’t like to post the same material so I am looking into what I have been writing. I write free verse a lot. I love the feeling of just releasing words onto paper. It’s very cathartic but sometimes it’s too raw . I will eventually post them but I need to be ready first haha
        A lot of feels happening in these pieces .
