Painting by Mi Young Lee
Summer twilight dances
with shadow cloaked roses
to a sand song playing
on the southern breeze.
Void of sunlit demands
dreams wander
among blind windows
in search of hooded eyelids
to explore.
With a mother’s tenderness
night hours stroke
a purring clock
in the calm before alarm.
Silently inspiration collects images
to feed poetry when first light
rises hungry for words.
My heartfelt thanks to Mi Young Lee who gave me this incredible art piece and inspired my poetry. Her joyful, kind spirit is such a blessing. Please learn more about her and her art on her website at Mi Young Lee.

I'm intrigued by the different poems that emerge from images and can't wait to see what everyone else sees in Mi Young Lee's beautiful painting.

Very true Susie! Silently, yes! One gets inspired and words come tumbling out to astound with lots of brilliance!

I enjoyed reading this, Susie. I was so afraid that something would go wrong soon, it never did.
