Second Sight Journey

Whether you work from home, or you have a studio separate from your house, it’s so important to have your own space to be creative.

she breathed life in every nook

and left not a single brook

lay lifeless, in despair.

Then she stopped

And stared into the distance.

There she stood

under the arching trees.

She was ready to depart.

I yearned for the magic to last,
