A figment of my imagination, perhaps? ~YOU~ captured me with your word fragments left dangling, like disjointed memory fragments, rough sketches impressed upon life's canvas. Gazing at my rippling reflection in a nearby peaceful eddy reminds me the vast surging sea is always within each solitary stream. The colors and hues vary but the essence remains true. For even as the end result is itself but a fragment of the total reality, each point of light, each ripple stands alone but never separately. Thoreau, van Gogh... all the masters understood. Cast in bronze, brushed in sepia or garnet and gold by palette knife or pencil bold, life splashes itself in living color; and when passion paints life's whitewashed board with primary colors, it sets free each ray of light, revealing itself to all whose eyes are open. YOU, are not just a figment of my poetic mind's reality. |

a fine 'write'! I love the imagery of : word and memory fragments sketched upon life’s canvas and: the vast surging sea within each stream as well as: brushed in sepia ... garnet (or) gold but, I especially admire: “each ripple stands alone but never separately.” [would that were true of all humans!] Applause!! |

 OMG, this was magic, simply stunning and this... is always within each solitary stream. The colors and hues vary but the essence remains true. sighs.... |
