linen

white is perceived as crisp innocence
giving the hand a tactile sense to
gently touch without penetration

linen is natural light shades of pale
caressed with panting breaths of color
to mark a degree of difference

with freedom from dilution of white
she is strengthened and willing to sow
linseeds of love anxious to verge

offering warmth to freely explore
above fabrics of truths that might take place
below that which can not or will not

then pieces of consummated threads
become tangled with circumstances
weaving a non penetrable cloth

leaving impressions scarred on the white
imprinted signs left to remind
a fading memory for all time

Thank you all for your much welcomed comments.  

My muse has been sadly missing for several months.  I am now learning that inspiration is everywhere if one only looks and sees.

Thank you Alan and it is great to read you again, too, dear friend.

We all need a little "color" added into our lives ... oh indeed we do ... and from your recent piece it appears you are finding rainbows ... that is so good to know.

(sigh) I only wish the tapestry could be as clear as porcelain sometimes, but then again, porcelain is scratched on the surface so indeed there is a scar in everything but the vein can always succeed with comeliness! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderfully introspective, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Janette, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hi Hi, Lady. I read this and didn't comment on it yet. Bad me. Its lovely. You have such an amazing intelligence and passion that comes through in your work.  I love having you here in Open, and I hope you are here more often in the future.


Beautifully done.

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL
