I live under a million-acre sky. My chest is open and my feet are grounded. I dig into the deep and dank of life. I have dirt under my fingernails and freckles on my shoulders. I believe in my body. I am strong.
I love words so I write stuff down.

we've been this poem humbly offered up for OpenLinkNight at dVerse poets.
Love the title you've chosen...the words take on a different spin when one regards the painting in correlation...lends a colorful bit of play to a work that has my mind picking up shadows...wonderful weave!
nice...love the structure of this...and it cool to see the woman in that pic...takes a sec...and the thought of splashing my own feet in the water...nice...
This seductive painting, a frozen moment of emotional intimacy, a mirror to private fantasy and fulfilled desire is a reclaimed as the memory we see again.
