I dream of eternity.
Did not enter dreams. Wanted to share this. I feel like this photo goes hand in hand with the following, of which I wrote, therefor it would have not done justice to view it without reading this alongside. The cliche/corniness may be criticised by some, but that may be an enigma unto itself. (Other words, I've been feeling inspired as of late).
Ă¢€˜Long the path do we tread, a misty wood
Spanish moss hangs from its triumphant perch.
Dew drops fall from trees; you pull on your hood
We go approach our place, a mountain birch.
Carved in its flesh our memories have passed
Some of ours and some of others we see
Let your fingers touch the dead hands of the past
But be wary, the fruit of a poisonous tree.
So we sustain and exist in struggle
As we search for answers in but a tree.
A thousand and one feelings to juggle;
Who is to argue with us except we?
So carve four more letters, for the lack thereof
Carve four more letters, in the name of love.
I have had writer's block for many months as I felt that I had stepped too quickly into the writing process of my second novel. This is the first thing to come out of me in a while and it feels good.
All comments/critiques are greatly appreciated.
Lee
Edit spelling.

Wonderful photo - added to my favorites. I am not much of an expert in English poetry (English is my second language), but I like your poem, too.
(don't particularly fond of the idea of carving letters on a mountain birch, though)
...just kidding - i understand you didn't mean it literally
Correction: actually, you did mean it literally, or rather literary :)

| I think that is a fab photo. The genuine depth of feeling (DOF hehe!) comes through. Great to see peoples creativity pouring into other areas. Sometimes powerful photographs here bring certain songs to mind, or other things that cast the viewer into the moment. Excellent stuff! |

Great capture. The high contrast black and white works well.

One of the most romantic shots I've seen in a long time, and the poem touched my soul. Thanks Lee.

What a touching compliment to a fantastic photo. I love natural, uninhibited emotion. One of the sweetest written works I've read in a long time.
