Glow from the shadows
Breathes gentle light
When she's chosen to be seen

As a father the thrill of basking in the light of my daughter starts when I see her long slender shadow walking down the hallway.
This thought just from part of a verse.
This is a beauty of this poem: each metaphoric verse and line can comfortably be detached from the body to stand on its own merit and inspire.
The evocative piece is a poetic ballroom dancefloor. One can't help but let thoughts link the graceful arm of each metaphor and dance in between each intricate line.
In choosing Anita's esteemed reputation to pen this exquisite tribute to their daughter, Crista, Richard and Michele demonstrate that they are connoisseurs of choice wine.
Anita, I too will ask for a sip from the matured casket of your gift for the appropriate occasion. If, I could be so bold as to say so.

You've made me smile throughout, Anita, and, like Richard, I feel marshmallowy warm, not burnt, browned with love, care and consideration, tempered by heat learned, because, after eaten, it tastes so much better, that way...

Like Crista. Young, verveful and considerate. Like your understanding, Anita. Like my two at-home daughters. Like love. Your/their pride is our pride. And, why not?

Love the art-image, Richard!! You have such a knack for multiple linear extrapolation in your chosen images, I can't help but laugh with pleasure and wonder!

Interesting concept poem and I love the way you portray her as an almost real abstract kind of person.

Loving art as I do I am awed by the talent that first captured your eye Anita. This is an inspiring look into more than just an art but the spirit and passion captured in words of Christa. The beauty of the woman child, the individualism and the awe of the inner soul...all wrapped up in the dance of a father's love and the talent of dear, sweet, Christa.
Just awed am I at the spirit of the whole am I.

Anita ...

This made me feel soft and marshmellowy inside. Thankyou so much for taking the time to see deeper than the surface. It amazed me how deeply you saw into my character in my Dads picture.
Love and Kisses
Crista

Anita ...

Thankyou so much for such a beautiful insight and blessing you've given my daughter with this poem. It has blessed out entire family enormously. Tears were shed and Richard handed out cookies.

Blessings to you ...

Wonderland has graced your pen again. You have extrapolated much from a two-dimensional creation.

Your gift has plumbed new depths of richness. Bergman called - he was crying. Your work with Daivie's art and now this is truly a blessing. Know that you have touched our hearts here and that you have all our deepest respect and admiration.
