Description
So, I took this photo the other day, and I decided that I would post it. You will have to forgive me for not posting sooner, but I have had some computer problems, some life problems, and other basic everyday problems. The good news is that things are looking up again. I'm not sure how well this will turn out for you, since I lost all of my lovely editing programs, but I hope that it turns out well.
Bitter sweet, darkened day
Following me on my way
A brisk walk through the winter wood
A path I've took since childhood
Thickening mist, cloak drawn tight
Hidden from your keen eyesight
Unknown sounds are now to wake
Forsake you from the gods you make
Turn around. Go back home.
To that place you're not alone
They'll criticize you to no end
Lie to you that they're your friend
Step ahead. Be on your way
On this darkened misty day
Know that you're not in dreamland
And one day they may understand.

a misty & soft vision of a winter forest, and for a black&whiteimage, you have subtle touches of color which are quite nice. Nice, too, how your sky emerges out of the forest, like hope. Your poem speaks of traveling through the tangles of 2-faced people and struggles, but you seem to out the other end, to light. I hope it's happening for you. A lot of people told me, when I was in my teens & twenties, that I was supposed to be happy all the time: I wasn't, and a lot of people i knew weren't. Struggle is part of it all, and it would've been nice if we were supported in that rather than ridiculed. It's all part of your richness of spirit and your insight. I wish you the best...Nice to see you back. Editing programs: If you're lacking good editing, there are freewares & sharewares that have some terrific editing capacities & they work on Mac & Windows alike (and on Linux too). Graphic Converter has tons of editing and is free, and The Gimp (Graphic Image Manipulation Program) is the finest Photoshop-like software on the market, and it's utterly free and has versions for all platforms. Both of these are highly complex, but they're free & have lots of options (if you have the time to learn them). There are smaller programs too, including Mac's i-Photo and equivalents, which will give you at least basic editing tools, though not vast. Good luck & keep creating!

Dear Alealonna, mybe the mist is symbol of some status of our life. But you know, every cloud has a silver line. Well seen and well done!
