Reflections of Winter
The reflection in the river of the bare trees, clothed for winter, is almost perfect. Only the smallest edge of ground in the bottom right and a few golden leaves on the water give it away.

Winter's Bare Branches - Holding On - By Vivienne Gucwa

Stuck somewhere between the heart and lips pushed down by the echoes of memory echoes loss: the mirror reflection of connection.

We spend our lives shedding pieces of ourselves: molted hopes and dreams that slough off into the thoughts of everyone we meet like stardust falling to the Earth from distant stars.

These are the pieces we hold on to: the pieces that are part of us that can never be put back into the same place again after they dissolve into nothing.

On a bleak winter day, clusters of branches reach out towards each other against the backdrop of a bone-grey sky.
