“Alone” - by E.A. Poe
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

Unfiltered, gracious, honest images from a kind and good heart that shows itself in a stream without pretense. And this is its beauty, what makes this stream one that flows without obstructions, following its course naturally, bending when it must, with no particular objective or goal but to show itself, to reveal the quiet beauty of moments. Whispers, murmurs, the wind in the trees, clouds, sea, sun, songs, verses, an old anchor, a key....you. A way of seeing all of its own, original, a poet's heart, an artist, a sympathy and empathy for all things, a painterly display. Nothing special as I know so well you will say. Then let it be this way, "nothing special," and go on...keep sharing your images, let us see through your eyes, read your words. M? To live is to be born slowly. It would be a little too easy to borrow ready-made souls. Yours is one of a kind; original, sincere, honest. And so are your images and your work.
