Absence

Soft light kissing these mud cracks I found in the Utah Badlands. Also a poem I wrote inspired by the image.

“Fragile, the ego driving you insane. A wreck behind the wheel, havoc on the brain.

Absent like the water that's dried beneath the cracks. Faulted by emotion, and everything it lacks.

A beauty that’s portrayed, by letting go of pain. A grip-less aberration. A shower minus rain.

Pulled by selfless love. She teaches me her ways. Patience unforeseen, I pray she always stays”.
