We walk on berry bushes,
capture lies in jam jars,
rich ruby reds
to dapple sweetness
over the bitter truth.
We walk on clear waters
fishing through sieves
for reflections
of who we were
before we drowned the earth dry.
We walk on land
but turn towards the clouds,
trying to draw conclusions
from the cotton candy
we cannot catch hold of.
We walk on the world
with a faith
that can’t always keep us afloat.

I really like this, Damien.
“rich ruby reds
to dapple sweetness
over the bitter truth.” Love.
Thank you Merril, a little colour to cover up

Looking for reflections of who we were while walking on clear waters…what a wonderful image. And the photo! (K)
