Summer watercolors -- by Tiersdin and me |

The hazy place that held me unsurely burned clear in early summer sun. With each cloud memory dissipated, leaving a landscape free of form. Thoughts water color fall into panoramic possibilities, but each opportunity finds a border -- the four-square of the frame. And here is where I lay, untamed as the wind, yet captured by the words within. I am long brush strokes across a blue horizon-- a rainbow bridge over polluted refusal. The sweet scent of babies breath made music in the reeds. (Its demanding cries caught in tangled trees). Rock-a-bye this melody, on a summer's breeze... The sun is at its height already, burning golden glow. How many hours have I been here caught up in repose? The flowers nearest are stout strokes but I can't match the shape. Can't make the strokes, can't form their notes, can't compose the same warm day. Turn the page... The sun rises anew, spots dot before my eyes, obscuring yesterday's view. So I paint the loner's hues. |

Mikey and Tier . . . this is heaven . . . The sweet scent of babies breath made music in the reeds. (Its demanding cries caught in tangled trees). Rock-a-bye this melody, on a summer's breeze... I was lying on a hillside reeling it all in thank you . . . needed that break xxoo |

First, lemme get over that pic, you. grin... so funny. (who's trying to scare WHOM?) (chuckle) And this poem? Wow. You two took the sun, and wrote it out as cliche' of time, and light, and source of life, and managed to turn it all inside out and make me think thrice. You took the sun and exposed the implosions. Awesome. (Next time you two get together, I'd love to be a fly on the wall...)  |

Mikey, is that you? Is that truly you? Are you just back for a little visit--a teaser?--or are you going to stay awhile! You and Tiersdin just wrote a symphony of color. A total delight to behold! Your pic is adorable! You look like a squirrel caught in the headlights! lol  Loves 'n hugs to you both!  Linda |

I haven't even read this yet! Just wanted to tell two dear friends how happy just seeing this post made me. Now, on to the poem... Ok, now that I've read it, it's all I'd hoped for. "The sun rises anew, spots dot before my eyes, obscuring yesterday's view. So I paint the loner's hues." Watercolors, yes Ed [This message has been edited by wranx (08-25-2003 11:08 PM).] |
