All the lines in your magnificent piece hold value to me but I especially loved this line..."How voluptuous and meaningful reality becomes as I hold its emptiness!"
Always beautiful work from you Axilea

Texture - what a structure!
Of rain that comes and sings a lament
One drop or a million billion could be sent.
A drought or a deluge - who knows what is meant
Still bringing it
Still singing it
Till your soiled hands are washed clean
Till you look in the beholder's eyes of green
Emptiness - what does it mean?
I too see it - every night in my dream.

| motifs appear through all that we avoid and we can be (ful)filled by the sands that trickle through our fingers. Like here, Axilea, it's life's yellows that stick and adhere with me - sometimes the more so by their absence. Virginia Woolf would love this. xx |

Inspiring little thing. I could dip my life-toast into that golden yolk of light and be filled. I like how you cup it in your hands and hold the whole (hole?) of life painted in your hands-- a great visual of mellowed light. But my favorite line was: "How voluptuous and meaningful reality becomes as I hold its emptiness!" That, for me, is precisely what I used to call "poetic depression"--a "waxing wane".
In this reverie, there is musicality in the sounds as well as the impressions of color you give-- harmony. I love the juxtaposition of different textures throughout: rain, sun rays; leaves and feathers; music and movement, fingers and catgut strings; breaths, winks; zebras striped with light (finches?) as well as black; density and void
That last pair (density and void) are repetitive textures throughout: invisible fingers and catgut strings; vacuity and voluptuousness; reality and emptiness; immaterial and endless abundance; vain efforts and fulfillment; intangible life cupped in tangible hands.
You handle these textures with a light hand, understating, which makes the mood all the more penetrating-- reverie, reverent and beautiful, infused with truth and light. --Charlie |

| Bountiful enlightenment language in this writing for me. "The past goes over the lines..." brings to me the vision of a reverse dot-to-dot, a fresh way to depict revisiting past. It is right close understanding I have of "But I can feel that the immaterial, endless sunny day drives you crazy." I savor the truth of that sentence; The Magic Toll Booth's Digitopolis vs. Dictionopolis . . . . 'do-ers' vs. 'be-ers.' You write with a "be-er's" hand. ~~ Diana |

| This is such a wonderful bit of exquisite wordplay, but I have to admit, it would have sounded better to me if written in free verse instead of the prose. That's just me and my prejudice against most prose. |
