There Then Gone

she was there for an hour
this morning standing in the same tree
painter brush and palette shadowing evergreens
that they might look as three dimensional fractal blossoms
in the rising sun with birch barks shadow colors as entrance outlined frame

You are an artist with your words. She is the painter, however- with these images you have created such a beautiful picture of her. Simply breathtaking. ~ Brandy

thank you...she 'is' a tree spirit who appears each day, palette and brush in hand, to shade the green as the rises...a writ i wrote the day before introduces her
