Scenes from this year's seasonal home somewhere between the Blue Ridge & the Great Smokies.

Morning at Camp Quietude

My Mountains

#mountains #blueridgeparkway #travel

Darkness owned

The months

Time froze

Entangled

With the heartbreak

Of a winter coffin

As I slumped

Into your recliner

Smoking your last

Cigarettes

Hearing your bones

Cry gratitude

For the morphine

I pumped

And remorse

For the lost years

There was something rather blousy about roses in full bloom, something shallow and raucous, like women with untidy hair.

~Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Main waterfall at Soco, on the Cherokee Nation near the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

days of misted grey

silence are free as trees rust

in the mountain's arms
