Sometimes I am.
Sometimes I am suspended in time. Unable to stop staring ahead at what could be.
Sometimes I am a twisted warrior upon wooden horse entwined with emotion.
Sometimes I am wounded. A broken woman watching the east for the sun that never came.
Sometimes I am the shadow crying up to the heavens.
Sometimes I am knight hidden in the corner. Eyes a glow with fear and spear made sharp.
Sometimes I am crucified in the forest of thought.
Sometimes I am twin flame, calling out to lost lover.
Sometimes I am clinging branch longing for confirmation of my existence.
Sometimes I am a naked glow, harboring the mysteries.
Sometimes I am refugee, sleeping in my corner of light.
Sometimes I am dancing spirit with partner grace.
Sometimes I am union, passion, and joy.
Sometimes I am a jester pointing the way to laughter.
Sometimes I am constant searcher.
Sometimes I am beauty that sweeps across stage.
Sometimes I am electric.
Sometimes I stand together.
Sometimes I rise alone.
Sometimes I am.

Photos and words by Sam Craft. Trees on my walk.
Wow…what a wonderful poem, I can feel your loving heart in this one my friend.
I can’t pick a favourite line because I love all of them and can relate to them too.
Love your photos, but you know how much I feel grounded in the woods.
Love you so very much Basna Woodelf. Me. xxx 🙂 ❤
Thanks Alienhippy. You rock. Thank you for looking at this after I asked you to….lol! I loved finding images in the trees…writing the words was the harder part. But taking the photos was divine. Lots of love to you. BASNA
You make me laugh, you know I would have got here eventually. But I am glad you did ask me to check it out because I got to comment first and not loop about my words. Also…glad to stop your loops when I can. You are so wonderful my lovely friend.
I LOVE this post. I love you too!
Sam from the very first line-
Sometimes I am suspended in time. Unable to stop staring ahead at what could be…
this post has been about me too…only you said all that i have been feeling too so eloquently…
stunning piece..
Awe….hugs to you, Soma. And many thank yous. ~ Sam 🙂
Wonderful piece.
Thank you kindly, Vivjm, for your time and words. ~ Sam
And sometimes your pictures and words are just brilliant, like today… magnificent blog (applause, applause..) more….
And she takes a nervous bow, scannig the audience for signs of chocolate. Thanks so much bulldog, much appreciated….I’m happy you enjoyed this. Much light to you. 🙂 Sam
Brilliant, inspired use of photos and words! I absolutely love this!! Thank you, Sam!
So happy to hear. Thanks so much Joanne. 🙂
Beautifully expressed and illustrated. I am… smiling! xx
Yay, I am clapping at you smiling. Now you clap, and I will smile and we can do this all evening. Love you bunches. 🙂
Lovely, the connection with the text, the trees and the light! Thank you!
Thank you very much…it was healing to do…and I soooo love trees. 🙂 A bit camera happy I am.
I love what you’ve done here… weaving together photos and story….. and self-revealing all the elements of “you” ~ “I am” in awe of your unlimited ability to create and offer us self-expression this way. Your photos are fantastic and make me long to walk in my woods — (have not been able and this season riddled with lyme ticks)… Love all the green in you here ~ Special Post dear sea sister ~ skipped a few heartbeats for this one xo 🙂 Robyn
Okay…you will laugh…at first I made a story up using some of the trees about a person I was upset with….lol….but I got over it before I was done…and I’m like…now what??? So, the voice of reason reminded me that all angst comes from inner love and perception…so I focused on me….hehehe. 🙂 oh, bummer about the ticks…they thought I might have lyme…but I focus on not having it. 🙂 “skipped a few heartbeats”….that’s so sweet. HUGS to you sea sister. 🙂
Wow — that is quite the ‘backstory’ on this post — laughing 🙂 🙂 I would guess you would ‘get over it’ before post time too… know you very much self-actualized and that voice of reason is very much your friend too. Yes- we live in tick land here — and it was a theory after some blood work a year ago (some titers are positive)… but like you I have moved away from the focus as there is no easy answers there… Ok ~ see another note now will go look!xo
Oh — and you look so beautiful today— like the ‘green in you’ is shining right through xo
🙂 That was late yesterday. I posted at almost midnight…but hopefully the ‘green’ continued throughout the day. You are so kind to say so. I asked the dear soul who gives me weekly massages if the photos looked like me. And she said I look different in every one…..so at least I’m not the only one that can’t tell what I look like. LOL. I really wanted her to say: “Oh, you are just so much more gorgeous…..too gorgeous for words….” But you know, we can’t have everything in life. lol…giggling….hehehehe
You do look a bit different in each – but not crazy different… always beautiful and usually radiant 🙂 I like your daily photos…. we should all be required to do that …would be fun!! xxoo
🙂 awe, thanks, you. I hope you are okay. You’ve been on my mind much. HUGS xoxoxo
and every time you amaze me with your words and pictures. Hoe beautifully they both blend together, expressing your emotions. Your exploration I love.
Blessings and much love.
Always love the energy of your words. Such a genuine heart behind every letter you type. Thank you very much. Many blessings and much love to you, too, my friend. Sam 🙂
“I need to grow older with a girl like you…” I love that line! It sings down deep to my soul.
Thanks,
BB
Isn’t that a great line….so love that line…It’s a sweet song. 🙂 Happy Saturday to you. 🙂
The forest is you. And so beautiful.
Poetic comment. Thank you. The trees are magical creatures to me, speaking so much to us. Appreciate your visit. 🙂 Sam
pics & words – a perfect union. beautiful work.
I love trees, they say so much and are examples of how to endure peacefully and with presence. Thank you.
I love trees, too. Yes. Your words are very correct…how to endure peacefully and with prescence…and without fret of future or regret of past. you are most welcome…and how they shelter and give us air….sigh. 🙂 Sam
Most unfortunate that they occupy places we seem to want to park.
Beautiful post Sam. Your words complemented these pictures so beautifully.
Thank you. I was wondering if anyone would catch that the photos do indeed match the expression. Best wishes. Sam 🙂
Yes, your words were so perfect for these beautiful pictures Sam.
Thanks again. 🙂
