We mouth hellos and goodbyes ‘neath a mountain of sighs ~disguise the lies in a wink of eyes~ but the pheromones just aren’t there so I willingly slip between the cracks, surrender myself to a Daliesque moment and find myself crawling within cracked sidewalks, begging to re-invent myself, like some proverbial errant weed seed pushing itself through tons of hardened (but cracked) concrete and miniscule mindsets whose only goal is to put the skids on my evolutionary wings and just where does a moth glide (or hide) when city street lights glare harshly, challenging its reality, forcing it to compete in a worrisome world where the graceful butterfly is the preferred choice? I am a mere moth hiding in the weeds |

I am a mere moth hiding in the weeds" I loved this....it's one of your very best...a total keeper  |

Unless of course we lose our minds over a pretty blue flame...oh but what a way to go...yayaya lol mind if I file this in me library? under G..for grooooovy I am sure of my reasons, embracing the seasons, and the sacred simplicity of you at my side.

Dali, my favorite for quite a while... And, like this, there is always so much going on in his canvases |
