writing - sometimes invisible
the beginning of the WILD project - by Theo
A PAINTING
Long-limbed against the languid lake—luminous
on the fleeting space that looms
Innocence & Experience—numinous
Lyca—reborn … reformed
She peers into Huron’s pools cradled in etched limestone—
blue-green in lunar-grey; gentian-sprinkled; cedar-fragranced—
and calls forth her creatures from her vast domain
invisible, inaudible where Imagination has vanished, banished
not here—where Imagination reigns!
Crimson sun-hat a crown and shimmering gold and mahogany curls
rest sweetly against her face and wilt to her shoulders…
her eyes pools for great Huron’s reflections
and as she reaches—slowly, slightly, cupped-palm extended—sunbathed
her frog, princefrog, leapfrog bounds forward at her command
and i paint bluewords, greenwords, aqua, violet—
spectrumwords the colours of pomegranates and grapes
fairies and empresses—
Theodora lifted into God’s great azure apron—timeless

...my 16 year old granddaughter's work for her "wild" end-of-term art project for the daVinci program she was chosen for. This is the first part of Theodora's triptych - you can see her working on the 2nd and 3rd in the image 2 before this one...
