More from ~Arachnakid

In the Darkest CornersWhen I see the lightning streak across the sky
It leaves a ghost upon my eye
So everywhere I look
I see the purple roots
Creeping through the clouds

I wonder, where do lightning flowers bloom?
These sparks of life
Planted in the darkest corners of the sky

When I see the daily miracles around
I hold them in me safe and sound
So every time I cry
I shed some tears of joy
Cleanly like the rain

I wonder, where do lightning flowers bloom?
These sparks of life
Planted in the darkest corners of the sky
Like thunder, in my soul there rings a sound
That sings in me
Echos in my heart like electricity
These lightning flowers
Blooming
To Know ColdYou don't know cold
Until
You feel the ice creeping
Up your fingertips
And crushing through your feet
Wind blowing
Through your bones
Up your nose and over your ears,
Sweat freezing
Everywhere
Your toes, your crotch, your hair,
And you ache
From shivering
Staying WarmEven when I'm crying
Even when the cold is killing me
And when cold words stab me
In the gut;
Even then,
I can sing with my brothers and sisters
March to a hot meal
Race to a hot shower
And when we all laugh together
I feel warm again
Catch-UpSometimes I start
Laughing
I can't stop
Laughing
No reason
Except maybe to make up for
All the times I held it in
Fighting TearsI saw my sister fighting tears
And cried for her
In the shower where no one would see
I felt ashamed
Of my lesser pain

Still life of a strawberry. Took about 2-3 hours...strawberries are a pain to draw. Insane numbers of seeds!

I really surprised myself with this one; I may be doing more still life in the future (although it really is a lot of work).

I avoid still lifes (lives? I'm not sure of the spelling here) but you're significantly better at it than I am. I'd love to see more.
