Shadow Gardener

Shadow Gardener
Shadow gardener
picking seeds off the bones,
out of the darkness
what precious fruits
she will conjure

Shadow gardener
diving past mask’s reflection
through turbid depths filled
fertile with life’s shunned
unpolished gems

Gentle hands
healing through attention,
disregarded treasures
rise with flamed wings
to guide even Persephone


Shadow Gardner
rises through the veils
by the wings of her
gifted prize
no gold coins needed

She who gardens the shadows
stands tallest in the light

Galia Alena
I’m a visual poet working in just about any medium I can lay my hands on although I am a professionally trained photographer and a so called “self-taught” artist (of course there have been many teachers on that path). I’m in love with the creative process. I’m a beauty unveiler, light huntress, moment caresser and visionary poetess. Ultimately, all of my work is about helping people peel back the layers to experience the intense beauty of each moment allowing access to both their intuitive wisdom and a deeper connection to spirit and self. (Because the beauty of this life cracks our hearts open and it is through the cracks that light can flow both in and out and connect us back to our divine selves) That is what I do and I do it through photography, art, journaling and teaching. I live in the insanely beautiful Blue Mountains, just shy of Sydney, with my family, our cat and all the winged ones who frequent our garden. Each day here is a wondrous delight of tiny miracles through either the glorious light or magical mists. I would love to work with you, have a look around and see where you are called... "Where I create, there I am true." Rilke
