THE ART OF UNDERSTANDING 29 April 2013 There I was in chameleon colours avoiding the carefully chosen mots and moths to preserve obscurity as you advanced and retired in quiver-heart song and sinuous dance. Sometimes red and yellow can merge into a tremble-orange sunset where dawn and dusk reach out and touch across the day and slip together into the shadows of the night and deliciously out of sight.

(Sigh), Such a somber thought. Sunsets as well as chameleons are so beautiful with all of their blended colors and such, yes, and the thought of all this beauty slipping into some sort of obscurity, (sigh again), but, then, again, as it's been for endless ages of time, we can still hold tight to the promise that the sun will once more rise as well as the chameleons will rise once more to whatever occasion there might be to show off their true colors. As always, Enjoyed! ![]() |

Thank you, Bob. Sometimes the dark can be a wonderful place to be, but yes, that promise is even more beautiful. Thank you for the depth of your reading and your kindness and your understanding. Thank you, James, for your kind words. I know you are talking about your poem, but it was a wonderful flow in other ways too. Thank you, Martyjo. Yes, it was a beautiful sunset of many beautiful sunsets. Owl |
