The Black Swan





My name is Anita Rivera from Castles Crowns and Cottages and I am proud to guest post for my esteemed friend Patricia Cabrera. Her ethereal work represents truths in life and I am honored to present her latest piece which will be offered on ebay titled,




The Black Swan



The fact is, light and darkness walk side by side










in each one of us.
But the question is HOW?






The Black Swan has her tale to tell









but you must come closer to see the details.





You see, it's a dance




with yourself









and an awareness of your choices in life.




None of us can turn away from ourselves












but rather we have the strength to face the duel shadows that exist in us all
and dance the rhythm of peace and healing.





"The job of the artist is to unearth the forgotten to bring to light that which is in the dark." - Anita Rivera ©

BONJOUR TITA!

Thank you for coming to visit me last night dearest. It was so fun to try to pump out this post for you, with a bit of a deadline....it was fun. I cold have made it longer, but your art speaks for itself. We can try to collaborate again in a way that I can actually write a longer narrative or more edited poem. I worked too fast on it, but the idea could be improved. Either way dearest, thank you for trusting me....Nita
