Rate: 8 Flag

Silently waiting for it matters not

beauty glows here mute

Reticent and paper thin

the page still rests unturned

Reluctantly the shallows teal

tranquil of deaf remains

Taciturn this prayer for water comes

not when the sun is heard

But when the temperature slips deep below

and hibernates in silence

These walls do shout, all doors do slam

but not when left alone

The kitty cops a staunchful eye

while still the watch dog guards

And Green's been known to rank with stripe

although it disapears I've heard

Not one iota does daddy blurt

while streching long his legs

And within the absence blindly

I snail silently into quietude.

For without sound is there colour?

Like it? Tim, I love it! So creative and full of magnificent images. I'll ponder over your last question for a while:

Without sound is there color?

What an excellent and perceptive piece! Thank you, mon ami.

Timothy, your work, makes us all want to be better, I have no image like yours I must tell you, and the one with the snow, or the snail, or your first flower, just magical. Thank you again for sharing such great work.

There is color without sound, for as long as you have light. It would be just like being in space...

Beautiful photo-poem! Rated.

So deft! Your things are always a respite for me. The pics in the betweens, keeping the pique, but then I always go back, ignore them, and read the verbage alone. It's so lush! --- Each little segment has a word in it that is like the name of the picture. It's such lovely work, sweetie. Proud of you; love your vision in this one, cools, all, except for that Sun-shading Goddess -- if you own that piece of art, you need to give it to me. (See how she is..)
