("Toats Coulee Pine", 2019, original encaustic/pen & ink original)

Light and Dark

Love is not all sweetness and light
it is also a blade
cutting deep
separating flesh from bone
Both together
the joy of embrace and acceptance
and the pain of loss, 
the terror of the void
light and dark
always dancing together...
