Shadow Lover


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



Master Plan

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.

~Robyn Lee


Permanence

“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. ”

~Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse


Revealing ~ part II

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

~Robyn Lee

Here I share with you another photo I shot yesterday, a companion to Revealing « THROUGH THE HEALING LENS in order to  ‘reveal’ to you more of the environment in which these photos were created. Enjoy 😉

Much Love ~ RL!!


Revealing

“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.

Unremitting Love

~~~

“Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean
refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how
many times it’s sent away.”

Pursuit

“Performance depends neither on size nor strength,
but rather on fuel of the spirit.”

~Robyn Lee


Tides

Sun-kissed sea,
please carry me
through the tide shifts of my life.

~Robyn Lee


Invitation




Wind utters my
name

Bay sings softly,
an aria

Sunbeam kisses
my cheek

Clouds whisper:
Come in

Ups & Downs

“There is an uphill for every downhill, and a downhill for every uphill.”

~ Turkish Proverb

Have a Great Weekend!

Cure

“The cure for anything is salt water, sweat, tears or the sea.”

~Isak Dinesen


Seek

“I suppose that’s the secret, if you’re ever wishing for things to go back to the way they were. You just have to look up.” 

~ Lauren Oliver
