Picture Her, All In Dark In layers of deep quiet peel away the veils of time as one would strip an old painting gasping for air for she is in need of oxygen for her pores to breathe beneath the black of soot and time lay virgin skin, waiting, beckoning, responding with blushed pulse for the right touch. Too hard, and the veil will crumble, steeped in age, weary to time and sterility of absence, she moans; too soft, and the veil will mold beneath fingertips, perhaps, yours, if they do not move in quick yet graceful succession… Touch and bring forth like a well-witcher’s wand the liquid of tone, spring color to cheek light air with hope, spiral spine to leap and she will… Your will becomes her. And Mona leases her smile. " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Nicely described-nicely done. You made me feel for the painting. And then I wondered if you meant me to extend the metaphor to people who have been put away, like those in the nursing home that I see when we visit. A little care, a little help, and they can shine too. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
