bright and soft, we begin our lives
held tightly, nurtured, protected
we strain against that which holds us
seeking freedom, growth
but do we understand
that by our declaration of independence,
we are forever changed
Petals fall like snow

Lovely shots!
Thank you! I hope you are healing well.
Those are fabulous!
