I am bathed in warmth
When you're standing next to me
Your flames engulf me

Twinkling in the sun
Frost clings to branches
Like sugar crystals
Crystals of frost on small branches. Snow on the ground.

Sometimes when feelings
Cover me like rain
A rainbow appears
Rainstorm with rainbow to the right. Light on distant mountain. Low bushes

Early morning frost
Leaves sparkle in the sun
Fireplace beckons
Dried leaves sparkling with frost, in sandy soil

Winding through desert
The river is lifegiving
And destructive
Desert river with pointed butte. Sunset with some orange clouds at the horizon. Rocks in the foreground.

Withered grass
Colder nights
Wild and resilient

(Love these beautiful wild horses 🐎 ❤️)
Wild horses in the desert. Two darker brown with white on their faces, and one lighter brown.

Sunset melody
A harmony of colors
Music in the sky
Sunset with purple clouds and yellow/pink horizon. Silhouetted trees some with leaves and some without leaves.

Untamed thoughts spread
Through the corners of my mind
Time to let them go
Leafless trees in the blue hour at sunset

When I learn
To hold my heart gently
With tenderness
And ensure it is safe

When I no longer tolerate shame, neglect,
Or disrespect
Then I will truly know
How to love 💕

Getting lost in the wilderness
To find myself again
