The stillness of a peach
is ripe with juicy promise
a whisper not held
within a child’s toy

and yet a child finds
a fragrance of her own

and what among us
is not still life, until
mind and emotion
meets us, compels
movement?
(For Nancy Merrill’s A Photo A Week Challenge: Still Life)
So ture!

Wishing I could capture the still life of this day…I’d burn it, blow the ash faraway. Hah, a poetic comment…

No problem, it’s an honor to be of use 🙂 Did you read Cider House Rules? The term/notion “being of use” opened the story, and I really felt it!
