Sweet Summer Spring

Sweet Summer Spring

:iconmaikaduriel:

Frosty days and dragon's breath
Cold winds and struggling sun.
The days are numbered, Winter-esque,
For sweet-scent Spring has sprung.

Away has blown the icy breeze,
Died has the fire's ember.
Green leaves adorn the dancing trees
As summer they remember.

The barren lands of deserts small
Drink deep the welcomed rain.
The birds preach joy in branches tall,
Forgetting Winter's pain.

The mournful dams, once empty ground
Are now replenished, lush.
The air is thick with happy sounds;
Broken is Winter's hush.

A white-grey sky has now been stained
A brilliant shade of blue,
A greener reborn landscape framed
By brown grass, green anew.

These dazzling scents and sounds of cheer
Through my clear head have rung,
And I am glad summer is near.
Sweet spring has surely sprung.

Hi, Deviants. Hisashiburi desu.

What's been happening? People pay me to take pictures of them these days. That's pretty cool. I got to shoot Incubus in February, which was just about the best thing ever. I have my fingers crossed for a photo pass for Mutemath next month, and my first destination wedding in Fiji in June. I got really into SHINee. I put a deposit on a car today. I figured out I'm gluten intolerant. I got a D700 and a 24-70mm f2.8 and an 85mm f1.4 and they're my babies. Chris got a killer job teaching the up-and-coming PTs and massage therapists at the Australian Institute of Fitness, and he's still pretty much the best. And I'm 2/3 through a 365 day project, and 6 months off a quarter-century. I'm getting back into dancing and I've started writing music again. Basically, LG.

This is where I hang out these days:

I love chocolate. I love roller derby. I love anything pink. I love stories about wizards and magic. I love keyrings and mobile phone charms. I love bubble tea. I love travelling. I love winter clothes. I love stationery. I love Australian music.
But I LOVE taking photos.
Not that there's a lot of photography featured here. I used this page as my outlet in high school (when I wrote a lot of teenage poetry and hadn't yet realised how comfortable a camera felt in my hands). I also have a music degree in composition and I love that too. I guess I'm a bit of everything.

Hello! This will be really random, but I'm curious. Does "Maika" mean anything? LOL It's my real first name and I never knew what it actually means. I saw your comment at [link] and immediately saw your username.

Where'd you get your username from if I may ask? I hardly ever see "Maika" spelled my way. It's usually Micah or Mika.

My world is not a fairytale; I have long stopped viewing life through rose-colored glasses.
I have never stopped, however, appreciating the people and the little things that make life beautiful.

Hi Maika! Wow, that's a pretty crazy coincidence. You have an awesome name, by the way.
I stumbled across my username on a Lord of the Rings fansite, they had an elvish name generator and one of the options it gave me for my name (which is Erin) was Maikaduriel. I liked it so I used it, and then shortened it to Maika and here we are :)
I don't know what it means either but I think it's a beautiful name, and I love the way you spell it! It looks gorgeous written down.
Sorry I couldn't be more help on the meaning, Maika.

Hey Maika ^^ how u been?

Death no longer terrifies man, the smell of blood is as common as the smell of white plums, so he creates slavery and savagery, which surpass the horror of dying, these can only be fought with more blood shed and the cycle never ends
