empty lines of her life
filled with henna
weaving together the
past and present
into patterns with
details all
coming together to
form an intrinsic
portrait of a woman
who is part and parcel
to the uniqueness
painted in the
swirling lines
capturing
it all in the essence
she calls “ME”
giving it to all
of “YOU”

I miss being able to get into my site as I would like to. Along with Fibromyalgia come chronic fatigue and lately work has been very busy and too, with good weather I am trying to get projects done (lacking in that arena as well). Well, soon enough, Fall will come and then more low key so I will get back to writing and visiting more. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thank you Claudia. I actually have some tatoos, not your typical ones, but very much art and I, too, like images of henna.
