          " . . . There never seems to be enough time,

           to do the things you want to do,  once you find them . . . ."

This is my grandmother who passed away when I was eight . . . I played around with a couple things to "age" the photo.  Feedback (almost) always graciously accepted. 

I must make up my mind today;
What to have, what to hold:
A poor man's roses,
Or a rich man's gold

One's as wealthy as a king in a palace,
Though he's callous and cold.
He may learn to give his heart for love,
Instead of buying it with gold.

Then the poor man's roses,
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I'll never miss.

And yet the hand that brings a rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold.
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man's gold.

A actual rose flash-frozen and Gold plated then painted. It is in tribute to my Sister-in-law Sharon that died some time ago.

I wasn't have much luck w/the flash-so there is shadow's-not enough light in that part of the house-and I only had the flash on my camera :-(

Thanks for looking!

And the poet said, Speak to us of Beauty.

And he answered:  IMG_0474 

Where shall you see beauty, and how shall you find her

unless she herself be your way and guide?  IMG_0477 

And how shall you speak of her except

she be the weaver of your speech?  IMG_0478 

Be not afraid for Beauty is of the Tree of Life.

Who grows and changes before us, is born and thus dies.

I am newly born as a ***  IMG_0769 copy.jpg ***  
In the arms of the darkest plant
between the piercing thorns
Now..sleeping so silently…

.

Dreaming for a warm embrace.
With the desire for a softest touch..
And dew drops on pale eye brows
guarded by knife like thorns!!”
