The Burdensome, Beautiful Hat
Today’s Photohunt Theme is “Hat”
she waited in the cold.
the darkness came.
like magic it fell, all around.
like a hat,
an icy burden built.
atop her it rested.
all night she struggled,
through the dark,
to stay erect.
when day broke
and light exploded
her burden glowed.
it remained heavy
and, although difficult to bear,
it allowed beauty, before unseen,
to shine through her.
Why yes, I DO still PhotoHunt!
It’s been awhile since I participated in a PhotoHunt Saturday. Just had other things my hot little fingers wanted to throw out there, I guess. I’m back in today, though!
Today’s PhotoHunt Theme:
DARK
I have to admit to you that, in true Emo form, my first thought at the word, “Dark” was the emotional kind. And it made me think of these photos, which I feel characterize my pain around the time of my miscarriage:
But right on the heels of that, I thought about the natural kind of dark. And about the grand beauty that can be witnessed when “dark” starts to happen…
And while I would wish you all lives filled with far more of the second kind of dark than the first kind, sometimes the first kind helps us admire and appreciate the beauty in all other things that much more. And if it does not, we should surely remind ourselves to look for it.
We need it.
