The Monday Mural picture this week is my favorite! I have not visited many of y’all lately, busy, self-reflective - and a bit withdrawn, the two latter will pass - is passing, so I will visit soon. To see the perfect photo that sparked my thoughts - and - where it took everyone else, click here (and then click to make it larger!). Michelle, thank you for finding this one, especially.

A Moment’s Brilliance

She stood,
in her moment’s glory,
eyes downcast,
in both silent reflection
and
in struggle to maintain

for she had done it

no one said she could
no one said she would
no one said she should

her lips upturned
gave away her self-satisfaction
even as her eyes spoke of reflection

and brilliant colors
glowed from within

I knew I could
I knew I would
I knew I should

TAKE THAT WORLD!

And seconds later
the brilliant colors
of her moment’s glory,
would soften
to match her
eyes downcast,
in both silent reflection
and
in grace within

as she humbly withdrew
and rewrote her thought
to that of respectful thanks.

My own abstracted light photos with the poems they inspired are found here and here and here and here and here and here. There is so much that can be seen in abstracts - if we look.
