Landing Home

First chilly early light

Just me. . .

Feet hitting pavement

Pounding, long lazy run

Landing into myself

Eyes bright, seeing

Again vivid, alive

A glimmer, a spark

Catches my eye

And pause

To take in the light

And then. . .

This light

Pulls to my heart

Opens me raw

To thoughts before unknown

Quiet now, listening

A whisper of feelings

I hear what’s inside

And I write. . .    

From Painted by Rain, an artbook by Chelsea Danburg, created in collaboration with Monica Austin. Landing Home is a window into my creative process writing this book- of running & photographing, then later the photos become a key to unlock my emotions, and I write.
