The lilies' life
Always a joy
Having lilies in the house
with their colors - and fragrance
Mingling with the air
As soon as you come in the front door -
Fragrance first
Color and form next
These lilies are in the middle of their lives -
and a cluster of petals -
already at rest -
others continue -
bright and optimistic
Sometimes, I have an inspiration that is spurred on by a few thoughts to write and paint. Simple thoughts can spur on simple paintings.
Sometimes - life is simple-
Peach carnations on the turquoise linen cloth on the kitchen table
A bank of bamboo in the distance
A field of yellow poppies in the dip of the highway median
A slow cluster of water on the teal marble tabletop in the garden
And a single cardinal comes to rest on the nearby chair
Honor the simplicity
