Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

When I close my eyes I can type my mind
A black canvas until slowly
Lights shimmer, maybe stars
Maybe life lights pointing me
In the right direction

A rainbow wavers in from the left
Pastel palette painting into woven
Sheets of subtle that becomes brilliant
All captured behind my closed eye lids

A sensuous aurora dances
Light green mixing with pale yellow
Soft colors, soothing the brain
Raining silence on troubled thoughts
Restoring peace as they flicker

When I close my eyes I see colors
Wrapping into artistic invitation
And my body dances in quiet reflection
With colorful streamers tantalizing

    my closed eyes

Alison, you see more with your eyes closed than most people do with their eyes wide open!

"A sensuous aurora dances
Light green mixing with pale yellow
Soft colors, soothing the brain
Raining silence on troubled thoughts
Restoring peace as they flicker"

Uniquely expressive ~ and stunning!

Loving hug,

Linda

very interesting write!

I especially love:

"A sensuous aurora dances
Light green mixing with pale yellow
Soft colors, soothing the brain
Raining silence on troubled thoughts
Restoring peace as they flicker

When I close my eyes I see colors
Wrapping into artistic invitation
And my body dances in quiet reflection
With colorful streamers tantalizing"

sustained applause!!

Thank you for making me smile
as I end my first year at PiP.

You all make me grow
and make me warm and fuzzy inside

(oh wait, that may be something i ate)

Dunno, but thank you.
