| Breath of Winter? Original design hand drawn on computer and edited in Pixlr |
The picture above was originally black and white with her breathing green. Thus "Breath of Winter?" But as is my habit, I played with it, and here's the sepia colored version.
What Comes Before -2011
They stood before me in a row,
Cloaked in terror, joy and snow,
One, his face was plump and cheery,
Another his hands held gray poverty,
A woman had a gown of water and air,
And I saw a girl with white flowers in her hair.
Then I saw a man with eyes full of tears.
And a man with his back pressed by years.
They stood with an ethereal glow.
One at a time I watched them go.
But three stayed and kissed my head.
Each was clothed in a fresh blood red.
The first held a cup filled with thin bread,
The second wore a cross of heavy lead and in his cup he held scarlet wine.
The third’s cup held water and a scriven line,
Then, a last one arrived unheard,
And he parted swiftly without a word.
In short, this is me worrying not about dying, but about how I will die.
