Gumball #58 Catching the Wind

creating wonderment in my palm

Hand Painted Silks by Marjorie Pezzoli

Catching the Wind 

unexpectedly

she caught the wind

it swirled between her fingertips

deposited a dragonfly

at the base of her palm

it danced across her lifeline 

then waltzed into her thoughts

… it’s ok to be blue - not know what to do

feel the breeze shimmer 

remember to breathe

… please know you can fly without wings

…………………………

I was looking through some of my older poems deciding what to share. This one starts with the first two original lines and the idea of being able to fly without wings. Then the in-between words flowed.

Dragonflies are so magical, their movements and wings are mesmerizing- why I included this insect in my poem.

Painting on silk is like painting on air, why I chose this image of two of my scarves for this offering. It is fun to imagine the texture and color of the wind. 

Soon I will get back into my studio to explore other color palettes that capture the breeze at different moments.

…………………………

I needed to feel wonderment today, the creative process continues to heal me.

till next week- Marjorie
