Untitled
When the world ends
at the final moment
when all we have left to say
about our story here
before the dust
before the last breath
when the universe asks us
who we were
we will put forth
an image such as this
to represent what we look like
to ourselves in the best of times
a little of all of us
a summation
a collective beauty
a heart alight
a vision of who we have be come
to that second
a collective vision
of our humanness

Her expressive eyes and the warmth of golden sun on her face make it difficult not to linger on this picuture for long. Do you usually ask people to pose for you?

Oh ...... intense and with Birds poem so so sad. Would you be willing to add this to Eyeful? with Birds words in the description?
Sanzen also if you have time Voices is doing a equinox weekend (all shots of the setting/rising sun) . We are giving the equinox an extend run (haha) since it is so gloomy here in the east. It would be great if you had a chance to add one. It feels like we in the Northern hemisphere are passing the sun the southern hemisphere as we go from summer to winter as they come into summer.
