On the Dot


                                               I would like to be a dot in a painting by Miro.


Barely distinguishable from other dots,

it's true, but quite uniquely placed.

And from my dark centre.


I'd survey the beauty of the landscape

and wonder -- would it be worthwhile

to roll me towards the lemon stripe, 


Centrally poised, and push my curves
against its edge, to give myself
a little attention?

But it's fine where I am.
I'll never make out what's going on
around me, and that's the joy of it.

The fact that I'm not a perfect circle
makes me more interesting in this world.


People will stare forever --

Even the most unemotional get excited.
So here I am, on the edge of animation,
a dream, a dance,a fantastic construction,

A child's adventure.
And nothing in this tawny sky
can get too close, or move too far away.

          As the Maiden, I saw through your eyes as a child           Spring rains, green forests, and animals wild!           I saw you run freely on the Earth with bare feet!           I watched as you danced in the winds, blowing free!           I was there as you grew, getting stronger each day!           I brought you rainbows, chasing grey skies away!           I was there in your laughter - I was there in your tears!           I was the acceptance you gained from your peers!           I saw your first love and I felt your first blush,           As passion fi...

Tranquility

  My inner vision's carrying me To a boat on quiet seas To a place where I can be To a place where I am free A place of such tranquility. That little boat's been torn and tossed In the storm I was so lost! Then I knew the deadly cost Satan brews a poison sauce... Washed away upon the cross. Now, free of iniquity The scales washed so I can see There is no "them" there's only "we" Jesus died upon the tree All is calm on port and lee I have true tranquility Links: Hair:  Truth Hair Makeup:  Razzanova Nails:  Vengeful Threads/ Venge Clothes:  Luxe Paris Jewelry:  (Yummy) Poem: "Tranquility" by Soul Survivor

Mmmmmmm, new nails to complete the look

  Sand, sand; hills of sand; And the  wind  where nothing is Green  and  sweet  of the land; No  grass , no trees, No  bird , no  butterfly , But hills, hills of sand, And a burning  sky . Sea , sea, mounds of the sea, Hollow, and  dark , and  blue , Flashing incessantly The whole sea through; No  flower , no jutting root, Only the  floor  of the sea, With foam afloat. Blow, blow, winding shells; And the watery  fish , Deaf to the  hidden  bells, In the  water  splash; No streaming  gold , no eyes, Watching along the waves, But far-blown shells, faint bells, From the darkling caves.   Links: Hair:  Little Bones Eyes:  IKON Makeup and Nails:  Vengeful Threads/VENGE  and  Booty's Beauty Skin:  LUMAE                                             ...
