Posted on December 11, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Nourished by love for the unseen within, when seen by a heart, shimmers, sans end. Swells the bud a flame before bloom, sans thorn, sans pain sans sojourner’s wound. The wilting, the dying, the falling to earth, the paradox wrapped in a gift … Continue reading →

Wild Vine

Trifles Past Lips

Posted on November 14, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com

Banter is but trifle…as anything less than the sound of wind through wings; all else is just breath past lips to raise nothing more than a fading voice to a wanting ear.   tis nothing if not heardEmailTwitterFacebook0PrintGoogle

We Are

Posted on October 24, 2014 by skipavm@gmail.com
