See the colors there upon the sky and the water! Such
delicate and transcendent touches of a divine hand, captured in a
moment and inscribed upon a photograph. These colors, these delicate
hues and stains, are like the soft and exquisite
display of a mother decorating the nursery of her first born child.
Subtle and tender, fragile and graceful—she colors the sky and paints
the landscape with her tender hues.
Mother
Nature and I, her earth child, both smile at your extremely intuitive and
very touching prose. On a very personal note, I must tell you that I
did indeed decorate the nursery of my first born child with these exact
colors. Each and every one of them you
see in the sky and water. I even chose each color of yarn and crocheted
blankets. I’ve told you before you are the psychic poet!! Truly
“divinely inspired.”
