Cold coyote winds
howl across my resting place—
can I be reborn?

    Well now, a photo of a place I can get to without a passport. Cool. Good visual you create with your words, and you didn’t even need a photo to create it. Nice job.

    Peace

    The place of sadness is reinforced by the cool winds. Yet, the pastel fence and added flowers add some warmth and hope to a desolate desert burial ground. A poignant capture…

    I think the answer is no if there’s a yellow fence around your spirit. Blue, yes, but not yellow.

    It’s so odd to see cemetaries out west with no trees or grass! Love the yellow of the fence against the desert ground….brings a bit of happiness to the grave. Have a lovley weekend!

    Interesting to see a bright yellow picket fence round a resting place! Lovely perspective in the photo looking from a place of rest out to the sands!

    This evening when the coyotes howl outside my window I will think of this resting place, it gives me shivers thinking about it.

    I know those coyote winds…lived in St.Johns for over a year (that seemed like 10!) back in the early 80’s. This ShadowShot really captures the feel of the place!! I DO believe you can be born again!!! Yippee. Happy Easter to you.

    Interesting photo. Everything looks windy and gray except for the beautifully coloured gravesite you captured.

    Twelve words. That’s all you used and yet, it was so deep and meaningful. Of course, that was after I had to pick myself up off the floor from gasping at the image that I found to be breathtaking. Honestly. An audible gasp came forth from me. Never seen a YELLOW fence at a cemetery.

    I do love the yellow picket fence in this photo! I hope you’ve had a lovely Easter weekend.

    PS – No my lizard wasn’t green. He’s a Water Dragon (grey/brown). I wish he was an iguana but I’m not sure if we have them here 🙂
