There's Light Within Our Reach
The Brass Ring Is Ours.
It Removes All Blemish
It Cures All Scars.
Hold Out Your Palm
Let It Land.
Then Keep The Light Safely
In Your Hand.

HA!, Kathy, CCC Steve, Tammy, Carol, Avril and Mr. Path!Thank you all for your VERY generous comments! This one was special to me and I had the hardest time naming it and writing the poem. I couldn't put it into words what I was feeling about it.
I hope I said it okay?
I feel the same about my next entry too for tonight. Maybe I should let you name them Jack? :) They both whisper light.
So glad you all liked this one, all. I enjoyed each comment. Read them twice!
:)

Is this image an example of your slight of hand Laura? You're quite an editor. It appears I fell victim to one of your snipe hunts Laura. I should have known from your thumb nail.

Fantastic Laura. #9791887Laura E. Swan November 08, 2011
I so much enjoyed your gallery visit today, Emile. Thanks for all you have said.I try and create things from my heart. As off beat as they may seem. I have never been a very traditional photographer. That just seems too easy! :))) So instead I get out the oil paints and splash up something fun.
NOTE: SOME MIGHT CONSIDER ME A DESTROYER OF A NICE PHOTO HOWEVER and I THINK SOME HAVE EVEN SAID THIS TO ME! Lol...
