Favorite Quote:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
~J.R.R. Tolkien

Overgrown meadows
of ivory flowers
that dripple golden
petals of blood
against a pain
of faded rainbows
above my eyes.
Lilacs like willows
clouds under seas
moths float down
barriers of rocks.
Lost in a meadow
of flowers that
shine ivory
but reflect silver.
