I found freedom
In your love
And broke free
From the shackles
Of my loneliness
Poetry
Death Valley flower in poetry
Time rolls on

Kissed by the sun
“Kissed by the sun” an excerpt from “Grains of Sand” – this photo was taken in Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades.

Icarus
Too close to the sun
I reach, and I fly
You, radiance and magic
Melt away my wings

Dark skies
Rolling, rolling
It crashed over the horizon
They listened
But their fear couldn’t silence the thunder
