Alizarin crimson over cobalt blue. That's how I remember you. Like splashes of neon too bright for my eyes, you were way beyond the pale of the new moon. Whatever happened to you? Why did you take the fast train to the outer reaches of existence? Wasn't the beauty of a summer's morning enough? Maybe I'm just nectar for the hummingbird that flits happily near my feeder. Maybe I'm too easily enraptured by the chatty upbeat nature of the simplest songbirds, the sparrows. You always reached for the stars beyond, never the nearby Milky Ways the rest of us stuffed greedily into our wide open awaiting pockets. Yours were already full, you said, of magical sweet dreams that fell freely from above the rainbowed skies. I never understood your perspective until I looked through a telescope at distant planets and stars that were beyond my fingertips touch. You said you touched the stars each night and cradled the moon in your arms. Of course, I always thought you had just consumed too many magic shrooms. Did you ever find that special star? The one you said belonged just to you? Is that you I see twinkling and winking at me after midnight? *a rewrite from 2003, from a far away lifetime momentous memory [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (06-27-2006 12:19 AM).] |

I just popped into pip and I knew I had to read this beauty. I love how you colour the world with your vibrant words! P.S. Alizarin Crimson was a wise choice! It's a fugitive colour!  You certainly know how to write, Caring Kacy! Sending you a loving, understanding hug, Linda  |

Magical, Kacy! You were too good for him. If you couldn't open his eyes to the beauties on this planet right at his feet, nobody could! - Owl |
