I am feeling the Winter blues and I am yearning for Spring… So here are some images and writing that encapsulate the blues for me – either because of the colouring or the mood within.
The first image caught my attention because of the beautiful colouring and the windswept flowing movement within the image.

The perfect companion to the image.
Blue by © Tracy Faught
Blue,night,murky twighlight dances across the lake,waves washing cool carvings in the sand.
Aqua,water pebbels moving under my feet, grating into the cool bottom, looking down I see the rippling surface.
Saphire reflected from the sky,sun gone, moonlight passing through the dappled mystery in the blue below, splashing, cleansing,cooling, a window open to a watery world…below the waves, the mist and to the horizon beyond.
Envelop my senses.
Jacqleen’s image just seemed to be the logic continuation. I love the colouring and the depth.

Colour of water
Flows on blue
Like your deep eyes view
Waves upon the crest
Smooth motion moves
Way back on the brink
Of the fast paced sink
Filling to the top
Where one chooses to bathe
Memories are compelled
All earth is scathed
To undo the tiny kots made
Swim on by this ocean blue
Let night fall become you
The next image just encapsulates the ‘blues’ for me. Fabulous image and text combination.

What could be more blue than missed chances and opportunities?
I’m Sorry by © lovelyrita
I miss you sometimes
But I’d never tell you
The black box
matches the bottom of the ocean
and it’s locked,
sealed
closed.
I triple-checked.
I’d like to for you open it
but I’m scared you’ll laugh,
or cry,
or ignore me completely.
Maybe years from now,
when I’m dead
and you’re living off your art,
your heart will reach into the depths of the ocean
and dig out a little red or orange box
dry it off
read its contents
and say,
“Me too.”
There is so much honesty in this self portrait. The misery and unhappiness come off in waves.

Another triumph by Kristin and another truth and hard lesson to learn.
Karma’s a bitch: love comes whether you see it or not by © Kristin Reynolds
Feed me to the lions—
God knows I
would do the same
for you.
If not you,
than who, my love?
Who better than to gift me
a death?—
the miracle
of beginning again.
Who better
to sew up my dues
with black ribbons
fool wrapped
in honey?
By Kali’s
three-way black eye,
weaving
her head-turning poisons
back
like hurricanes
into the mouths
of prisoners.
Who better to chance me
a more beautiful shape
of being,
than eternity with her gown
to the floor—
her body
made of heavens and sweet
succulent blooms
spun from a lyre’s
hazy
immaculate web—
and just that much
closer to God.
I thank you,
my horrible, beautiful,
lost and found love
for learning each chord
of my lute,
then breaking it’s notes
down
to feed.
And following are two of the most beautiful portraits I’ve seen in some time. I love the celebration of feminity of this one…

And one of those special poems by Cynthia – they are intricate and delicate as her art.
one.seven.twenty.eleven by © Cynthia Lund Torroll
It is so early
to be so long now
to see terrain
of noted exhales
of knots of energy
that pool around throat
and lungs
She heard the birds
falling from night skies
the black with red wings
found with blue
streaming from their mouths
They were her favorite
she liked their strange call
back twenty years more
a message noted
of orbits forming
of winds that gather
or sweep entirely free
and I love the depth and strength in this one. It doesn’t get much better.
Her eyes hold the world by © madworld
I leave you with a free falling poem by tinhearts.
past time by © tinhearts
days dream into space
inviting me anxiously
watching my life
a cat chasing his tail
i’m allowing this blank face
releasing all strife
luring me into oblivion
instincts don’t rely on details
fallacies open door
the world, as small
as it has become
seeing there is no opinion
i follow anymore
except the voice
i do believe in wearing nikes
this unknown world
i made a choice
feeling actually unattached
yet a part of it all
peace at the end of my flag pole
being alive i am free
innocence in the form of a snack
treasures in every beak
tapping on my window
they know i am their soul
skies, mountains peak
tipping their hat
watching the view
smiling in relief
i am 5 ft 0
a giant sized handful at that
in my minds eyes
looking in the mirror
not my cup of tea
common
take a trip on the wild side
become invisible
with me
i promise i’m not contagious
as far as i can see
however
who will be the judge
if i am
twirling your uncertainty
innocently cleaver
but courageous
catching you in a snare
freeing you as i am free
signing the dotted line
with my smudge
knowing we are thin air
dance with me
since it’s my dime
who knows when we will be
the next eclipse
spectators scopes observe
as the world turns
into bliss
in no time
we return
sublime
smiling as we
are the observers
wild and crazy
maybe
escaping
past time
Here’s hoping you enjoy feeling blue on this Winter’s day… :-)
