walking the surreal

0 posted 2004-12-11 07:48 PM



I am as I am

A myriad of colors
Painted in imperfection
Yet blended well
All facets of the spectrum
Folding one into the other
An impressionist's dream
A model for modernism
Defined at times by cubism
Surreal in my lines
Yet touched too
By the brush of the old masters
In the genteel realism
Of time honored tradition
And Elizabethan feel

I am as I am

A portrait of contradictions
Drawn into one image
Of woman in flux

s.a.t.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Hope you dont mind Susan

I wanted to see if I could capture the feelings and I could for the first part, hence the digest.

I am me
Different
Imperfect
Adjustable
Water'd down
In hues
As you would like
Me to fit in
Sitting awkwardly
Attentive
And sensitive

Yet touched too
By the brush of the old masters
In the genteel realism
Of time honored tradition
And Elizabethan feel

I am as I am

A portrait of contradictions
Drawn into one image
Of woman in flux

Thank you all, my friends, for your kind comments and encouragement - you warm my heart -

Dave - when you come to the old masters - it is about being old fashioned in many senses -so I am modern - I am filled with many moods and open to many things, but still am traditional in many areas - and as we all are, I am under the evolution of learning and growth -

Good morning all - and thank you again-

  Susan
