Is it me

Tinting the wind

Dancing in the blow

Leaving a trace, a hint?

Is it you

Moving in a swing

Beaming before noon

Leaving a gentle impression?

No, it's just a flower,

The grass and the wind.

But is it?

I took this photo when I visited Turkey years ago. I named this image in Turkish "Ben Mi?", which means "is this Me?" in English. I could just as easily ask “ is this you?”. Somehow I recognised myself in that flower. Or maybe in the gust, or perhaps in the pigments or in the movement. Does it speak to you too? I still see myself in that photograph today, in the combination of it all and in its femininity.  Simplicity and complexity, if I wanted to try to fit it all into only a couple of words. I know, it's just a flower. But is it?
