C R E A T I O NThick wet paper
waits like snow
eager for your colour
Soft bristled brush
holding purple
drinks your hues
Anticipating the moment
when two things meet
and both are transformed
WATER - COLOUR - BRUSH - PAPER - ME - YOU
Brush touches paper
Colour
. . . S P R E A D S . . .
like stars - exploding - in distant galaxies
like beautiful flowers - bursting - into bloom
In that moment
of alchemy

Absolutely beautiful, Susannah. It's perfect. Purple is the color of personal power. You nailed it. Thank you.
Elizabeth
Thanks very much Elizabeth, I am glad you like it! (I like this one too.) :-)
Wonderful!
Alchemy is exactly it - but I think it's you, me and us three that it could be used to explain, as well the paint and paper...our thoughts just seem to merge... :-)
Susannah, this is a burst of beautiful color. The words are the picture. Well constructed!
Deborah, Jinksy and Brenda, thank you all for your comments. ;-)
I love what you saw with this image, Susannah. I saw the stars, too. Nice.

Thanks Pamela. :-)
I just love the way this looks on the page, and being a lover of water colour too, this poem was filled with magic for me.
Thanks Kerry. :-)
It is good to see you. x
Wow, what a terrific collaboration! Susannah your words perfectly reflect Elizabeth's image - it is a perfect marriage of poem and paint. Just lovely.
Thanks Sherry. :-)
your words on the page are very like the spreading colour
well done
Thanks Isabel. :-)
Paintings like poetry capture the moment. To be able to do both is Magic.
Thanks Booguloo. :-)
