Passage at Copper Creek~ There is a time tunnel that spans Copper Creek, an old covered bridge hums in the wind, inner wall graffiti speaks braille-beatitude's, expletives try to shout, but droop in peeling paint, marriage proposals loom large inside earnest lop-sided hearts, lipstick prints faded in the rain, remnants of lovers..who whispered lovely lust, Forever & a day gouged in wood. Past-echos haunt the south end, clip-clop of horse's hooves, a means to an end, wagon gone to town, home before dark. A trace of Future hovers high in a corner nest waiting for the wasps of Summer. The Present stands in the middle, admiring art in motion, that seeps from floorboard cracks upward to heavy trusses, created by sun and creek, soothing, wavy elusive reflections in dappled brush-strokes, it holds one there..in the Dusty Heart of the bridge, a portal perhaps.. to this passage in memory, moments of rippled time. ©Augustsky Sometimes..Miracles are just good people with kind hearts~ |

You paint very beautifully. You truly brought this to life with vivid detail. the pull of it can be felt. I wonder if I could leave such a place. Michael |

I have always wanted to see one of these bridges. Your images grab and form a photo in my mind. Lovely. "How much is real? So much to question |

I love places like these, maybe slightly tired and dilapidated but with the power evoke memories and transport you to a different time. Lovely writing. |
