Collecting Silhouettes

A fleeting passing shadow,
so soft in a dreamscape’s grey,
collects from past’s silhouettes
to sharpen memoirs image
revealed in dreaming glitter,
stark now in memory’s recall,
the past, now present, replays

They are interesting, aren't they. People used to hang them in pairs on their walls. I like this image.

Ghostly capture of the ink. I am enraptured by how you think. A pastel palette portraying presence. Connecting with authentic essence. Peace. :)
