She did not wear native sandalias, so her own footsteps echoed in hallways, falling through spacious ventanas into jardins where Toucans colored the palms. Then she stopped, stood transfixed, and I watched as she took in timeless architecture, feeling the form with grace of curves, as iron, wrought into sun beams reached into forever, but what it was, that stopped her was the blue. I know I visited her thoughts again, as she knew that blue was not only of the sea or sky, to some a color of hope, a treasure in stone, but for my own disfigurement, my own iron-clad knowledge that in my familial lineage, no one but I had blue eyes. She thought of me, then, I heard the gasp, it floated like a whisper between ancient walls, then laid like a flower of intrigue in the jardin and I knew she would continue to search ~ if not for me, then for her own truths, for somehow, in studying me, she started reaching for her own. ~*~ Photograph by J&M Divilbiss |

Karilea, it made me think of how different I am from inanimate objects and even other poeple. Creation holds a beauty in all it's forms. Your poetry makes me think. I always enjoy your writing sunshiny one. Hope all is well with you!!! Today I decided to play in the blue pages cuz, I finally had nothing that needed my attention. Life is soooo very busy sometimes!!!! HUGS, Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |
