Wonder of Beauty

taut bare skin of branches a  winter trees
wonder of beauty keeping
warm during winter months
without beauty of foliage

Silvery Threads

Artistry tattooed beneath my
skin creating a world unknown
unseen is a life portrayed in
dimensional sleds pulling my
alter ego of silvery threads
my skin a canvas of shadows
forming pieces of me creating
illusions of the deepest depths
swirling seas transforming
