the great river
of life
flows under my feet
a small lantern
lights my way
and tells
others that i'm here
to either side of me
points of light
skip like semaphores
across the blackened surface
fragmented
messages
from shoreline waystations

I'd not heard of Boothbay harbour, so I Googled it and looked at some contemporary pictures. What a lovely place.
The painting here speaks of days gone by and it does not surprise me that such a tranquil harbor is now the beautiful place of today's tourist pictures.
Thanks Steven, I learn something new everyday.
Peaceful, only the sound of water lapping...
hello elisabeth - you're first again!! i really liked this painting and it is from days gone past but it certainly speaks to me now. have a peaceful day. steven
alaine i had that sense and also the silent accompaniment of others in their own boats. steven
Those fragmented messages I'm receiving are of warm peaceful summer night, Steven.
Of course, at this point in the winter, I'd settle for a semi-mild spring night.
I'm glad I found your lantern, Steven. By the way, that light on the blue bottle on your sidebar is simply amazing!
Serenity and a sense of wholeness are the gifts of this days post.
hello barry - it is warm and summery in that picture barry - or at least, that's the sense i have. last night was nice enough to leave the window wide open. the snow is melting away but there's still lots left in the shadowy spaces. steven
hey willow - i'm glad you knew to look! the blue bottle is part of a bottle wall in a very specail straw bale house i visited, more about that in a later blog. steven
jinksy - i was hopign to share something of that through the words and the painting. steven
