The Waves Echo

out in space your roar hovers far more then an echo from below Do you spin the winds too? juggle planets on your frothy crest the cacophony of your curling ribbon rolling from edge to edge Are stars amassed in a similar dream? a bright band of white sprinkles showering the milky way a quiet mirror of their reflections skipping secrets like teenage passions Are we cocooned in your silvery castle? moonlight kissing the starlight behind the curtain of nights twilight canvas waves voice venerates heavens’ door 9-5-2020 Brian's Choice 4 contest 1st place

Love this Jeanne. For fear of sounding pretentious here (I enjoy art but am no expert) I'm reminded of Rothko: both in how you express your emotions and feelings through words and your lovely photography.

Hi Gary...you hit it perfect as a home run! I do style my images after Rothko. That is so amazing that you felt his influence. He is one of my biggest influences for my work. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and comment. :D

I really like the way you framed this beautiful poem with three piercing questions. Penetrating poesy, Jeanne! Joy and Jubilation Gershon

Jeanne, welcome back! Loved this write of yours with delightful celestial imagery mixed in with wind and wave. Beautiful impressionistic photography, yet again. Is this a new work?

Good Morning John...I believe this is one of my images from last year...I've been working on getting some ready for print for the gallery set to open in November.
