From Gauze To Canvas

Delight

You have captured

My imagination

Like a ray

Of sunshine

Captures playful

Dust particles

In the air

And holds them there,

Suspended in illumination

For an

Eternal Moment.

I'm drawn by the changes and the contrasts all around. I love watching and experiencing life as it moves from one part of a spectrum to another, with its ever-changing variations on the themes of being alive and being surprising. When I run out of surprise, I guess I'll have run out of life!

Sometimes its textures are wispy and delicate, like the gauzy fabrics used to fashion silk roses and veils. Then again - the coarse, ruggedness of canvas used to construct sneakers and sails.

Ever changing. Rearranging. Teasing or pleasing.Thrilling or demanding. Enticing or commanding. Never static.

Whenever I think
Of you...
...and I often do...
You exist for me
In my present,
Here and now.

My present is a gift
I give you now.

The pleasure
Of my thoughts of you
Is the gift
I give to me.

Generation gap twins.

One heart beating

Simultaneously in each of us.

Throughout wispy years,

Across sturdy miles,

~ Still ~ completion of each other.

Come here,

Come near

And let me see

Your eyes,

My dear.

The blue of

Your surprise.

The self of you,

A paradigm.

I must have that.

That glimpse into

The glimpse in two

Is yours and mine.

Your secret name

Is adam.

Tell me

When you

Find it out.

You are somewhere

Seeking me,

And soon our paths

Will meet,

Though unexpectedly.

We'll know.

Intense and grabby,

You are like a deer.

Would flee if frightened

But, staying here,

Would fight fearlessly.

Late November is your time

And adam is your name.

I know not why or who.

I simply know -

It’s you.

Tuning, done.
Overture begins.

And, now,
Maestro!
Symphony!
