                     from the tree plucked 
                          by gravity

                      past liquescent colors
                          into a hole in
                             the sky
                          into a hole in
                             the sky 
 
 
                          before yesteday
                          beyond tomorrow
                       between here and now
 
 
                       tell me, what do you...

                      does logic make sense?
                       is reason rational? 
 
                          do not speak
 
                     words are meaningless now 
                        worthless, useless
                   for it has come and you must
 
                          open the door
 
                          open the door
 
                          open the door
 
 
                              open...
 
 
                              the... 

                            (a thought)
 
                    my child, my precious child
 
                               life
 
                               game
 
                               life
 
                               game
 
                            is over now
 
                           you are lucid

Well, Brenda stole my line, you're getting to be TOO GOOD -- if such a thing exists! Which I'm not sure about, really, but it expresses the feeling well that you're just stepping outside the creative box in a way I don't see often, not here anyhow. Besos to the artist!

Cris,

I am in awe of the last stanza, the words take on the shape of a child's pacifier. With this image, the words to calm and soothe. I love the images Cris, and the written lines meditation. Another brilliant work.

....I am no. 1 fan. Or just one fan. Either way, if you're hot, I'll get you something that answers questions with "no." ;D

Hodgepodge??? Pfffffftht! The last time I hodgepodged something together it was a total train wreck of literary junk. Of course even my best is a train wreck. This was superb. I hate to see when you try!

hey Chris

That's what happens when we open the door.... Thanks for dropping by my friend, you always bring class to my hubs!

KF

Ah but the meaning is not in the poem anymore.

Candie

LOL I was only trying to pull Brenda's leg! I'll tell you what the inside of my brain looks like - a smoky joint!

Ron

Of course I did the graphics or else I would not have shamelessly posted a link on your hub and pulled you over, But a happy fool my friend.

Shalini

I just love the form as much as I love the content. I can't help myself! LOL Thanks!

FD

Yeah I keep asking myself that, too! But that's a nice compliment - much appreciated by this wannabe book author! Haha

whikat

Then it's mission accomplished - I think with the work you're currently doing a smile would only do you good.! It's my pleasure to um stun you!

G-Ma

Well I'd like to think so too! LOL Thanks for coming over, a big hug and a bigger lurve to ya!

Sandy

I think we have eyes like twins. Enuff said! Thanks for coming over, its always a pressure to see your um back. LOL

oscillation

I'll have you either way. Something that answers questions with no? well now i'm thinking... hmm

PM

Now this is a pleasant surprise! Glad to see ya my friend for I've just been over to your "further notice" hub. If you came for the key, nu-uh the door will stay open.

Pest!

I almost fell off my chair when I saw that efffing creepy avatar - good thing I have the straps on! I thought they've made sure you're done for! They should change the locks and next time throw away the key!

I guess modesty and humility do not become me, huh? Of course, I can't fool you - at least nobody can 'cept for Momma!

I'm sure your work is very moving and amazing but i don't have that artistic brain so i can't pick up on it :(

The pictures are beautiful though.

okay i have a confession to make. it's the blurring of lines that separate reality from dreams (as we know them). we're probably in some kind of a computer game and dreamland is actually the reality. Hmmm now I'm not sure myself what I meant by this poem! LOL

Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting just the same. It's appreciated :D

Cris A  says:
