Emotion in Motion ~ Ben’s 19th Birthday

April 26, 2015 by Dale 12 Comments

Scattering

It’s a day I’ve seen sneaking up in my calendar for a month. Days even weeks went by when I didn’t notice it until, again, this week, I was reminded that this Saturday would be April 25th … a day that would have marked Ben’s 19th birthday. This would be the first birthday where Ben…

Floating Dragon

April 16, 2015 by Dale 6 Comments

Floating Dragon

My heart is a dragon afloat An open mouth of violet Tender lips on a pool of glass Heaven in an azure mirror A tongue of gold spins The love of my soul Silken threads protect Project long quills as teeth Submitted to life’s current Pressed against satin scales I am a wild snap dragon…

The Blur of Spring

April 8, 2015 by Dale 5 Comments

Spring Blur

Depending on where you live, you may well be suffering through the same seasonal blur as we are in Ottawa this year. Our winter this year has been unusually long and cold. Indeed there is still ice on our Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site — not because it has ice into the second…

Forever

In your eyes Forever is an eternity It’s time to be born Time to fade into tomorrow Become a star Burn from bright into night Spin a molten core Into permanent rock Turn snowflakes into ice Crown a mountain into clouds Trickle a stream into a river Wash my soul, embrace it pure Show my…

Love in Ten Lines

March 26, 2015 by Dale 4 Comments

Yesterday, I was challenged by by Dale Rogerson to write about “love in 10 lines” (the challenge and her own contribution are here). The challenge required that I use only 10 lines, that each line could only have four words, and each line had to itself contain the word love. My response to the challenge…

Sicilian Orange and Watercress Salad

March 11, 2015 by Dale 1 Comment

Sicilian Orange Salad with Watercress

As the aphorism goes, when life throws you lemons, make lemonade — but when Sicilians give you oranges, make a salad. For the past few months, since Ben’s passing, I’ve largely immersed myself in my writing. There has been the occasional burst of  photography, but mostly I’ve been immersed in my writing. That’s because with…
