Color Blind Indigo and night-glo greens of Northern Lights captured in frozen flames. Pond ice frozen clear giving glimpse to what lies below. Gold and Ferris wheel crimson of summer carnival captured, frozen in liquid fire behind glass. Sparks dance, heating blood. Hunter and ever greens line crooked fence, branches capped with snow--hats. Pine scents accent brutality of ten degrees. Hickory and Black Walnut browns form split patterned designs in yonder woodpile. Husband turns cord and sticks into pictures and smiles. White and irridescent mirrors blank the ground into fresh palet for puppy prints. Squirrel tracks back to hop a fence, assured of being race winner. Blue flash and black tartan clash with scarlet-- a cardinal syntex of wildbird waltz. Stripes dart eager to chip away at dropped seeds. A feast of color for hungry eyes, now too often dimmed. Fifty-five years ago doctors cautioned surgery was but a temporary fix, best they could do. Crystal glass and iris shattered. Blocked all light then blinded with brightness. Like photographs I file images away for future reference; to pull out, scan and play with. I won't need eyes to see. . additional sense - Pine scents accent colors 1.night-glo greens of Northern Lights 2.Ferris wheel crimson of summer carnival 3.Black Walnut browns 4.black tartan 5.cardinal syntex |
