Collaboration Wild-Wind Rose

Maybe the boy is "crazy", but "crazy" for the sake of art. ...You thought: "I can see, I am etched in the boy's heart, but he is still 'flying,' he is still striving to take off, he has 'wind' in his head." Quote from a Chagall letter: To My City Vitebsk* WILD-WIND ROSE Stirs emotions supernal — Chagall’s Bella catching the cerulean wind. High, a kite with eternal surrender. Her Marc never shears the string. Zephyr of bling, facet of reflections in the moorish blue-diamond sky. Mourning spouse clings to her angel wings. Provokes intoxication of her white-linen collar — a candle sputters the yearning of passionate colors — a tightrope walker tiptoes between the earth and heaven’s gate, too many years to wait. The artist brushes a wild-wind rose. He wanted to shake her out of every snowglobe he put her in. Freely, he had imprisoned her in his paintings — his creations, and forever his precious wife was shut in with a gold-plated key; Chagall signed. . . to exalt admiration. 7/14/2019 for contest FINETUNE THIS COLLABORATION sponsored by Line Gauthier *From Wikipedia **Wind Rose - a diagram showing for a given place the relative frequency or frequency and strength of winds from different directions (Merriam-Webster)

"He wanted to shake her out of every snowglobe he put her in. Freely, he had imprisoned her in his paintings — his creations," - this is a wonderful write. If it is not in the winner's circle, I do not know Line and I KNOW Line! Wow! Kim, you have blown me away with this one.
