Night Green

night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
sharpened
it is a pointed pencil presence
part of a pointillism
part of the paper
part of the picture

night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
not a light green
not a leaf green
not a yellow green
and not too blue

night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
the unknown in every mark
such as the shadows cast 
upon and around 
as the unconscious past
lives within the dialogue of life
and is only sometimes noticed

but the light not so bright
without green shade

Robert Lindley Date: 12/11/2016 9:29:00 AM I am shocked that this deep write has so few comments. Sometimes it takes years of chiseling to create a great sculpture, only to find that its greatness will be appreciated long after we expire. I rate this as a solid 10!!
