Take me to the green in you
The secret valley beneath the sun
Hidden behind the whispering ghosts
Of whom you pretend to be
Open up your mossy arms
So I may open mine
And wrap all limbs round your spirit wide
To exist as half no more
Bring me to your mossy floor
Beneath the shadows of your fear
A raven bride in white
A ladder to your soul
Fold down your branches
Peel open your chocolate bark
So I may pour
As liquid amber
Through your very veins

I am thrilled to share this collaborative project with you today. Special thanks to Sam of of Everyday Asperger’s, who penned this stunning piece entitled The Raven Bride in White at the most perfect time to accompany my beloved shadow image.
Hope you enjoyed!
Much Love ~ Robyn Lee

Minds churn,
Hearts in huddle;
Conspiring,
within a salt puddle.
United they plot, and
Bravely they face;
Their task: to make the world
a much better place.

“There is a coherence in things,
a stability; something is immune from change
and shines out…in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral,
like a ruby. ”

“Quite often, the direction we face reveals not only
the sight before us, but something richer and deeper still.”

“Quite often, the direction we face reveals not only
the sight before us, but something richer and deeper still.”
~ Robyn Lee

I shot the above self-portrait from the deck, during my boat ride home Sunday.
Please note that my eyes are facing the direction opposite the sea…’twas not a mirror,
but rather a window with a view inside the vessel.
And thus, the image inspired my quote today.

Wind utters my
name
Bay sings softly,
an aria
Sunbeam kisses
my cheek
Clouds whisper:
Come in
