She KnowsDarling
She Knows
she goes there
digs in the dirt
with cold-cracked, bleeding hands
until the talisman is uncovered hence
to the wind-worn, weathered world again
Darling, heed my words; take no chances now
run while you can still run; run for your life
through the leaves and trees and dark, beaten paths
the Talisman demands her; the Talisman commands her
take the Darkness through all the lands
reap the souls; crush them whole
feast upon their darkest fears
the Talisman directs her
every fatal move
She Knows
Darling

The BoxThe box came to her from a man unknown and when the time came the box opened revealing virus motes on dandelion fluff, chartreuse meadows and flat, leaden skies.

She shrunk slightly from the sight. She took leave of herself; she thought she lost something and wondered where she had gone.

The box spoke to her then saying, "where are you now?"

A remembrance came to her, she said, "I am now. I am free. I am at the sea."

The box, satisfied, closed and locked its lid; leaving virus motes on dandelion fluff, chartreuse meadows, flat, leaden skies and the girl convinced she was at the sea.

Sand Dune Archby *Corvidae65

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

Sand Dune Arch in Arches National Park. Taken about an hour after sunset. I used a maglight and a LED headlamp to illuminate the arch. as you can see from the many foot impressions that this is a very popular attraction in the park...mostly due to its easier accessibility.

This arch is in nestled among some sandstone fins and sand dunes. Thought it would be so easy to just walk back in there on that sand--heck, all told it was less than a quarter mile once you got off the trail and into the fins. Found that walking in that particular kind of sand was kind of like trying to walk in wet cement! Man, it was WORK!

not even sort of like the sand I am used to which is river sand and very course. This stuff was like fine powdered sugar.

One thing I didn't mention about the hike back in to this arch--about halfway in there the trail (such as it is) narrows to a crack about 3 feet wide. Not a problem for your normal sized hiker, but, alas, I am not a normal sized hiker being wider than the crack! There was a way around the crack but that would involve climbing up a smallish fin and jumping down on the other side but that option wasn't gonna fly for me. While I could climb up there I wouldn't be able to bring myself to jump off the 5-6 foot fin
