Peripheral

Strings

By Colleen WaltersPublished 4 months ago Updated 4 months ago 1 min read

The wolf stalks the lamb

sweetly and innocently

and he won't give up.

+ + BUT

I'm not giving up

No matter how dark it gets

I'll stand with the Light.

    I agree with Sibley, the photo is very powerful and brings a facinating dimension to the poem.

    The way the picture is so profound! Really brings such power to this piece, I felt the encouraging words of "Stand your ground." In this. :) Beautiful work!

  • This was extremely powerful! Loved it so much!
