Unfurled

<p>We read stories of those who live in wild places and are connected to nature, being protected when a firestorm circumnavigates, one nurtured and well tended property, whilst eradicating the modern, edifice to ego, in a heart beat.</p> <p>Nature heals, stirs depths of emotion, strips bare and heals again, without agenda. Respect, rather than fear is the key to connecting, empathically with her ever-changing cycles.</p> <p>Sentient life in all forms is Penny Reilly's passion. Celebrating in words and photos, what inspires her, Unfurled is a magickal and oft, whimsical, poetic journey into reconnection with nature in the raw.</p> <p><strong>Unfurled</strong></p> <p>Leaves stir; a gentle wind blows after the storm</p> <p>Rippling still waters across the ponds</p> <p>Nothing fits the pattern of the once-time norm</p> <p>Reeds rustle; bracken unfurls green fronds</p> <p>Blackbird sings</p> <p>His cry of triumph rings</p> <p>Autumn-flavoured colours, float and spin</p> <p>Summer’s last days, reflect gold on my skin</p> <p>Copyright 2016 Penny Reilly</p>
