Just Two of Us

Just  two of us in single skin, Dark and Light at odds within; Dark pulls hard to blacker space, Light yanks back to trusting place. Dark holds hurt, and cradles pain; Dark won’t grow, so wounds remain. Where Light reflects in truest form, Dark dies back, and hope is born.

Just  two of us

in single skin,

Dark and Light

at odds within;

Dark pulls hard

to blacker space,

Light yanks back

to trusting place.

Dark holds hurt,

and cradles pain;

Dark won’t grow,

so wounds remain.

Where Light reflects

in truest form,

Dark dies back,

and hope is born.

    Another wonderful photo with some fascinating words to go with it. Just love that twisting thread – but what is it?

      It’s a pretty little garden ornament given to me by a student years ago – the ball sits lightly on the metal spiral and runs up and down its ‘ladder’ in the breeze – very pretty…

    There’s my favourite photo or object again.

      The little ball runs up and down the spirals in the wind – a lovely imaginative garden ornament! I love it!
