#26 – White Void.

--- From another one of my lone ventures seeking out good food and good art.

White Void

And that there –

That was the void you left in me;

Nothing you couldn’t repair

But more than your eyes would ever see.

With love,

Emily.

#25 – We Were Meant To Be

We Were Meant To Be

A warmth on my face wakes me from rest.

I smell a whiff of sweet syrup and

Breathe in the aroma of roasted beans

That tempt me out of bed.

I imagine you next to me resting

Softly in sweet slumber and I

Kiss you gently on the forehead

Hoping you would sleep longer.

But do you believe in ‘meant to be’s?

I do – but what will be

Is what I make it to be –

In my hands I hold my destiny.

Do you ever lie in bed at night,

Staring into blank space and

Wondering what this life is,

Why you’re here or who’s watching you

From up there?

In those hundreds of seconds

I think thousands of thoughts

But ultimately I am lost.

But I know with all the imperfections in my soul

That I was always meant to be yours –

I was just the one you chose not to know.

With love,

Emily.

#24 – Sea Sculpture.

Ah, Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach – also home to the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.

It’s become a yearly affair for me to head down to Bondi for the outdoor sculpture exhibit and coastal walk – and it was even more exciting this time because I got to take my Canon EOS 500N for a spin.

My second film camera was gifted to me with a 50mm f1.8 lens as a birthday present, and these photographs are from the first rolls of film I used with it.
