maiden voyage

"her maiden voyage"

~Ann Barnes

on her maiden voyage

all things bright and new

the sea of unchartered waters

drew her in yet made her blue

the currents tried to pull her

swirling this way and that

but she held steady to her course

knowing things, they do not last

of the many experiences, seen and heard

the parts that she holds tight

were the simple acts of kindness

the ones that made things right

it's the inner peace that matters

the one she's always had

the faith and hope and love,

putting good above the bad

her maiden voyage has ended

she has weathered the storm

and emerged victorious

for she has found her own

Today I am on the Relics & Artifacts Muse blog sharing a "cameo" I created with one of the pieces from the meerschaum reliquary kit, VerDay and a treasured piece of agate. 

I hope that you are able to stop by and discover my process and the inspiration behind it. 

You can get to the Muse post directly by clicking here.

My hope is for you to draw inspiration from the Relics & Artifacts blanks;

 to allow them to tell their stories through your eyes, and your art.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit.

~Ann
