Palm Springs commercial photography
[acknowledging photo from the Art of Jeffrey Bedrick]
-sometimes I like to indulge in the mythical world-


Bathed in the pale shafts of moonlight
they float on silent wings, barely
fluttering, soft as a whisper
as they hover inside my room.

Tiny gossamer nymphs snatching
stray moonbeams, flirting, cavorting,
crazily misbehaving – they
glide and dance around the roses.

They may exist only in my
bare dream moonscape, mere creations
lurking in cobwebs of the brain
as conscious mind embraces dark.

I welcome sleep that gives them life
before misty dawn rushes in.
my menagerie of flow’rs and fruits
theirs alone to feast in moonlight.

Eh . . . As long as you are happy with your inner creations . . . That is all that matters!

Lovely imagery jjote. People are who they are when alone with their thoughts.

More feelings and fewer words please
