Christmas Tulips by Crystal Expressions


This artwork of the tulips in blue vases was done by Crystal when she was in the 4th grade.  I liked it so much, I framed it for her.  She showed so much talent at a young age.  The Christmas decor was added to include the card for Christmas.

She Believed in Magic

Crystal Michelle Fallin


She believed
In magic.  Not
Because she was
Naive, but
Because she
Lived through
Times when
Darkness was
All that she saw,
And all life’s lovely
Things were gone.
But her soul was
Wise enough to
Know that its
Survival depended
Upon maintaining
The memory of love,
Light, hope, and all the
Other things that magic
Is made of.

“I Know You as a Painter Knows their Art”




Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida 

San Marco Ave., 2018

 YOU MAY BE GONE

You may be gone

but I feel you

when the cool breeze 

brushes by


You may be gone

but I hear you

when the music plays

its last song


You may be gone

but I know you 

as a painter knows 

their art


You may be gone

but I feel you

right here in 

my heart

“Beauty in the Darkness”


Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida

Beauty in the Darkness


 Beautiful things happen in the dark,
When the sun goes to sleep,
When the stars give light kisses,
When the moon is a spotlight,
She stayed beautiful,
Even when she was covered 
In the evening darkness..

To the prettiest grandma in the world

“Hope” is the thing with feathers

BY EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
