an ache within
for progress;
strengthening,
surrender something beautiful
surrender something sure.
a simple decree
less distress; a little more
happily ever after,
surrender something beautiful
surrender something sure.
apricot visions
release me;
wandering free the verdict –
but far from home,
surrender something beautiful
surrender something sure.

Mmmm, love the photo ~ you’ve captured a piece of heaven on earth here Aud, and the photo is matched by a beautiful, and I think reasonable, end of the year request to the universe: “…surrender something beautiful, surrender something sure.” What it asks of us, we should ask of it 🙂

The kindness you, the man who’s ability to create beautiful pictures to astound the internet, show me for taking a silly picture means so much. Nothing but the best of life and adventures is my wish for you, my Photographer Philosopher Extraordinaire. May the world be yours in 2021.

I pulled over after nearly crashing multiple times that day, due to ice and snow, just to get this picture.
