moonstone


in any image
there is infinite possibility
of thought or word
a chaos producing a quarry of gems
apatite to zircon
peridot to tanzanite

the
 universe slides
in-out of a halogram
of visions
who is the mother of this?
will i find her
in
moonstone?
will she name - call me
fire-opal?

    Delicate and bright little images in this one, barbara. I love the names of gems, they are poetry in themselves, and you have done nothing but enhance their beauty here in using them as your alphabet. (Tourmaline is the name I would like to be called, if that mother happened by.)

    An intense image sketched!
    Loved the expression.. I liked you naming the rocks.. Only then the name Fire-Opal made sense!

    oooh... what brilliant imagery, Barbara!! Fire-opal... LOVED the idea!!!

    Excellent... "...who is the mother of this?" is almost redundant if we see ourselves in the creation of change and chaos. Thought provoking!

    Oh, I love this! Fire opal, tanzanite, "who is the mother of this?" Brilliant, in every sense of the word. Thank you.
