("A Migration of Ghosts", 2023, original encaustic) A Journey of Souls Collectively and alone We struggle and slog Each in our own world A particle on the wave. There is nothing more to tell We all know how it’ll end In waves crashing down And us still just riding on. In joy and sorrow We only take what we make For as long as we can endure To grow in pain. Circling over the same old ground Cycling in the same old groove Till we too are worn away And then, we journey on, anew. (11/17/23)

Well, definitely not the most bright and cheery. I tend to get like this when the leaves fall and days get short, preparing for winter...
