Dome of laughing birds
Crying to humanity
Life’s bubble fragile
Earth rumbling signs of dismay
Awakening universe

Thank, Marissa. Colleen’s image inspired the words. Usually I work the other way around.

Yes it is. I don’t do Photoshop, so sometimes my photo library is inadequate. I do try to mostly use my own stuff.

Thank-you, Colleen. Without the image, I probably would have gone in a different direction. 🙂
