spring to life
a painted egg
in my hand
springs to life:
the scene
and the
unseen.

ReplyDeleteYou've got me thinking about the dual nature of the egg, a home, a hiding place, a protection, an incubator, sustenance, source of strength and vitality...painted images have many of the same qualities...a place to rest the eye, a dwelling for the mind, sustenance for the soul....deep thoughts/few words...very nice!
