The Cost of Dreaming

Sometimes to follow one's dreams, one needs to make sacrifices. Sometimes they are small and sometimes they are not. The sacrifices that often end up being the most challenging are the ones you never expected to have to make. I knew leaving my friends and family to take part in the photojournalist training in Cape Town would be tough but I never expected the three month move would cost me my relationship.H8XS8J74KH2U



The Lost Tomorrow

Like the broken glass
upon the framed image of our lost tomorrow,
I too lie shattered.
Like the shards that pierce and wound
the unprotected skin of my unwary hand,
so snapshots of yesterday that rise
unbidden, tear at my existence.
The picture no more perfect, the protection now the danger
that future swept aside with the debris
while today waits
for a tomorrow that will never come.
