Beneath cottonwoods, my sanctuary hums by the creek. Alder tea, soft as memory, warms my boots. Hollowed trees whisper endurance, not loss, aging’s dance of resilience. Grateful, I sip, reaching skyward, another year won. RJH #photoart #photography #photographer #poetry #poem #poet #visualpoetry

Against the night, a silhouette bends, Where moonlight’s touch with darkness blends. A curve of thought, in monochrome cast, Reflects the soul of moments past. In stillness deep, its lines endure, A truth in shade, both faint and sure. RJH #photoart #photography #poetry #visualpoetry

In hues of sorrow, a life unfolds, Dreams lie in shadow, pain quietly holds. Yet, amidst the swirl, a soft hope sings, A soul's tender strength in the blue that clings. Excerpt from The Blue - RJH Image - RJH #chronicpain #resilience #impressionism #hope #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #art #blue

“Machina Lubère - A Cubus Study” Sharpie - Crayon Sketch based loosely on a piece I saw while watching Rick Steves in Scandinavia. There was cubist painting on the wall behind him. My guess is it was a Norwegian Thorvald Hellensen RJH #Art #drawing #impressionism #artist #arttherapy #sketch

With nature’s grace, the poet’s call, Silent echoes, hearts engage. Spirit’s mirror, nature’s hymn, In unity, they both begin. The poet’s voice with nature weaves, Thoughts through her essence, spirit’s... RJH #photoart #photography #nature #photographer #abstract #poetry #poem #poet #reflection
