sepia dreams...


sepia dreams
16 x 20 mixed media on canvas

~

sepia dreams
tinted
with melancholy
with your love

sepia dreams
coloured
in various shades of greys and browns
that cloud what was,
what is...

sepia dreams
antiqued like the memories
that still live


in you
in me
in us...

Calli, your imagination runneth (into good places.) The art especially--I LOVE your painting "sepia dreams" which accompanies this poem.

Thank you.
Peace.

So much is wrapped in sepia in this part of the world. Your words are razor-sharp, and describe the sentiment perfectly. What great talent you have...
