Sweet and sad
like love overwhelmed
with long sighs,
out of the depths of the willow
little by little
the moon appears.

I found myself drawn, not to this tree, but to the shadows playing upon its trunk. Image submitted in response to Lost in Translation’s photo challenge.

Gorgeous photo, Brenda! I am so flattered with this entry 🙂

ugly every bit
about them…
but their ancient song

So beautiful! Multiple exposure?
thank you…I love playing around with multiple exposure, but this image is the outcome of exploration of layer work with one blurred layer.
Poem is lovely 😊 photo has incredible colors. Really enjoyed Brenda.
Thank you. It is interesting how words written so many years ago still touch the heart.
