Outstretched
lanclick here to heargouring arms to fingertips and lines extending,
releasing energy,
arcing to endless distances.
Soul Departing
Body emotions captured from ancestral columns, pillars of dream
mists in a muted temple inside the mind.
Tears at the bedside of a loved one.
Spectres
Early on a lonely morning, a state of intense reflection, in this
reflection is static haze; amidst the haze are fleeting passes of
spectres reaching from memory.
Surfacing
Shades of spirits and thoughts ascending to consciousness.
