Two seas one sun of thalo green and cadmium,
a tranquil autumn fire sunset, wet - yet - to the touch
shrouded in mystery and an eerie hush
The artist's brush at rest as she wonders how best to proceed
[ ...perhaps with the Moody Blues and ginseng tea... ]
     "what color to choose?", she thinks, as she sinks comfortably into her easy chair...
And there on the brink of dreams, Crystal sees...
       into the leaves of round trees and the wings of the dragonfly
     highlights of titanium white, umber and sage
   The stage set for tomorrows canvas play
     ...as wonder falls...
