“Essence of Mauve” from pinterest.com
evocative era
genteel decorum
Victorian hued
staid propriety
softened with roses
and palm fronds
a damask jacquard
state of mind
draped the eyes
keeping unmannered
glare of the noonday
from spoiling
rich dyed Persian rugs
splendid trophies
of commonwealth
meant for the
clean feet of conscience
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Oddly, my mother’s bathroom was a shrine to mauve…as was just about everywhere else in the house!

The deceptive power of mauve used to camouflage reality is distressing to me.

This made me laugh, Paul. Espe4cially the last line. The hypocrisy of Colonialism.
