ribbonsso throw it
my ribbons of light
that I gave you
long ago

give them up
words are used and worn
spent

turn away
before I jump;
you probably
don't want to see the blood

this is what you've done

Soft PlacesIn these soft places
where we dream
leave nothing behind
tomorrow I'll be gone
burn it all away
ashes
blow me like the wind,
sorrow runs deep
rivers of blood
into my veins
carry me far away
to fields and cottages
and dasies, tomorrow..
carry me to the soft places

But then it will be too late
for you to open your eyes,
because ashes replant themselves.

This is a remake of 'Freedom Isn't So Far Away'. It's not the best picture I've ever taken but it's certainly better than the original, which you can find here. [link]

Today, I can't walk. Something is wrong with my leg, so this was extremely difficult to take.

Although I have seen photos and renderings of butterflies used to represent freedom many timesbefore, I really love this piece a lot. The timing, lighting, details and angles of the shot all come into play. The diagonal angle of the jar makes entrapment seem further away, and I think that the butterfly facing the viewer makes the freedom feel more personal. The fact that its body is tilted upward lends implied optimism; it is flying toward better things, away from captivity, away from being grounded or stuck. I also appreciate the lighting behind the butterfly's wings because it amplies its beauty and fragility. This piece evokes a sense of timelessness.
