CAMEO DREAM
Was I only dreaming?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
As I walked through the garden,
I followed the stream,
Beneath the pale moonlight
And I started to dream.
++
The rose petals glistened
A droplet of dew.
Amid the fragrance of flowers,
My thoughts were of you.
++
My dress was of linen,
And the neckline adorned
With a black velvet ribbon
From which your cameo was worn.
++
The gleam of the moon,
Now cast a bright glow
On the small ancient city
Which slept down below.
++
Then I heard your voice echo
Through the rustle of trees;
Just the sad figment drift
Of a warm summer’s breeze.

THREADS OF US.
In the beginning, we were strangers, two silhouettes in the mist of dawn, wandering through our separate lives, unaware of the invisible thread pulling us closer, tighter, until we stood face to face, and the world around us blurred into insignificance.

Travel Snaps Challenge Winners
Travel changes us — if we let its lessons in. It’s possible to wander the world, even to take pictures, with our eyes as good as closed, never opening to the new self that a new place might make of us. So many of the entries to our Travel Snaps challenge were by creators who really wanted to look at the world, and themselves, anew. They were all inspiring to read — and to see, because photography was an important part of this competition. To us, the ‘quality’ of the photographs wasn’t the point; it was that these images were yours. It was a reminder of how much more that can mean — certainly when it comes to personal essays — than widely available or AI images. We really loved seeing these snaps.
