overextending
unborn debts
~
our knowledge
fears / feeds
our limitations
~
earthly expectations
shatter shards
sharp shrapnel
inside me
~
both haunted
hunted
confusing metaphors
~
the same dream
released me
~
from a bridge
I’m shining
letting go
I’m flying
~
elated
~
life
so precious
my miracle
~
kiss me
again
I’m free

often confused as

the calendar

back in 96
we had
the same strange dream

artists never
literally translate
their metaphors
…..Happy birthday and glad to see you back ! …..
I love the way the last remark sounds, like a Zen koan…but I’m puzzled by it. I’ve always considered that I paint and write in order to decipher what my metaphors are. Stuff surfaces so I can get a look at it.
It’s usually the perfect metaphor but has to be looked at from multiple views, with layered and intertwined meaning. Perhaps this aspect is what you’re talking about….literal is too linear a translation to encompass the full potential. ?
Brain teaser party favors at this birthday party…..xxoo
our metaphors
change
as the years
our bodies
change
Happy Birthday!!!

the words
had many connotations
unfulfilled
expectations
Always the layers, always more to be read than intended.
It is my 3 year old daughter’s today – 2nd April. She was born 1 hour after midnight, after my making contractions stop earlier on the 1st so as not to have an April Fool’s baby.
She is the brightest, fiery spark I have ever met.
I hope your Birthday was all the wonderful deserved.
simply an amazing birthday
happy happy happy
was my daughter’s card
for me
