inspired by John's Monet's Eyes poem
/pip/Forum93/HTML/003511.html


as brushstrokes glide
across a bare yielding canvas
we feel the breath of life

as some people, some things
tint our days
in hues of ebony,
snowdrift white
or perhaps, carmine,
teal and maize

and if the canvas
willingly accepts
the view we offer

imagine the depths
of intimate sharing
one portrait offers

when eyes glance
more than once
upon the beauty
of diversity

~life~

a painted study
revealing
the living color
within the unique hue
of me, of you

Such word choice.  How do you do that??  This is a pleasure to read.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

John? not sure I understand what that means, that his eyes didn't go with him?

There's that still despite
quality; a regardless idealism . . .
