Unfurl by Paula Lietz

cold and dark

planted there

stripped bare

huddled beneath

winter snow

seed steadfast

natures wonder

pulsating

upward

trembling

timidly

reaching

higher

higher

grasping

gasping

sunlight

stem firm

first bloom

shy blush

petal by

petal

magical

mystery

life

unfurls

Words from the Creator: Surrounded as a child by many forms of art–home studio, father: professional photographer,

mother: artist and photographer, grandfather: professional photographer–I was never a willing participant while the opportunity was at its best, but I have made up for lost time.

I now enjoy it all whether it be collages, photography, haiku, poetry or drawing. I have poetry published in New York and India and Published Art and Photography are selling around the world

“Always be in the process of becoming and never just being.” Living that motto one realizes that the possibilities are endless.
