a disproportionate amount of night is lost as we close doors and shut curtains take my arm, walk with me I'll never be this beautiful again nothing will this moment when the light falls is stolen from elsewhere sounds are far away every window glossed over as we are outside not within any more there are signs the sky is glass I just know I was shaken up opened my eyes as it all still swirled you need that to make things out once it settles I'll fill in the blanks confusion compounding because imagined sections throw you off the light won't fall anymore we'll go through doors to other places so many identical doors that don't lead me to me or you to me the outside will get forgotten it was/is hazy dream like

This is true poetry. "Take my arm, walk with me. I'll never be this beautiful again." Daylight reveals all flaws. The night softens and conceals. imagination is set free

Thanks Hilda, with a painting like this it is an all consuming factor. Thank you for your comment

I enjoyed your elusive guided tour through this wonderful painting Dilly, you bring the reader along on an almost out of body experience, I wonder if the artist subliminally painted the lamppost and moon as reflections of each other, 2 subtle parallel lines almost join them together, a trippy temporal poem that’s best if we just trust you, and follow your lead, brilliant! Cheers David

I do love your comments David - so enthused :) to me it felt like a crystal ball. I saw all the echoes of the moon. I spoke with the artist and he said he likes to capture the moment the light leaves the day. It's one of those 'am I real now or in the dream' ideas - quite mesmerizing if you get wrapped up in it :)
