I looked into light,
and I found color
where grey was.
Does light take grey
and warm it up with color,
like singers wake vocal chords
before the song?
Is every song grey
warmed over to lavender?
And if life is a song,
is dull life lavender
when the sun shines in?

WOW – that shot looks amazing on the black! Thank you soooo much for the feature! I wasn’t sure how good my catalog poem was; I was totally winging it! I’m so excited!
Maureen Doallas says
The images of lavender are especially lovely against the black background. Great photoplay, Kelly.

Cindee Snider Re says
Kelly, your words fit so beautifully with your images — soft and gentle and dappled with wonder. I love the idea of sun warming “dull life” to lavender. Like breathing in the scent of lilacs on a rainy spring day.

Kelly, you continue to inspire in a soft and hushed way. Beautiful work everyone. We are vubrant and shining for Him†
HisFireFly says
that should have read “vibrant” – I was not making up a new word, just early here this morning.
Violet says
I played too in Random Acts of Poetry too…
