In the shadows of a charcoal print
barely visible to see
lays a distant glow
a chance meeting
by an open door.
Lost in the confusion
of the moment
breaking free
yet wondering
what I left behind.
The mystery unfolded
days later,
with a sweet gentle voice
and the anticipation of a junction.
Greeted by a warm smile
departing,
my lips sweeping against yours
with feelings of wanting more.
Words are spoken
words are written
doors are opened
and music is playing
all by a single candle light.
You may be a bit young to recall this Sis Karen, but this poem and painting brought to mind the words of a song by "The Fifth Dimension" called "Love Lines Angles and Rhymes". . .part of the lyrics are below:
Love leads the lines of love in circles and angles
Love runs deep like a tunnel with a pendulum beat
That touches the heart in many directions
Moving the mind in silent reflection
Of the lines that touch the corners and fibers
Of the feeling that keeps running inside you
Cycles of fears with the longing and tears
Lettin' out the needs and laughter of
Sunshine, love shine
Touching the fibers of the feeling inside you
Letting out the things you hide. . .
The Fifth Dimension have commented for me on this. . . I can't do any better.

Dear Karen,
Thanks for posting a review to my last poem (not really a poem but a thankful message). I thought I'd pop in and read your poetry and am so glad that I did. This is wonderful. It is clear that you're greatly talented and I look forward to reading more...and more

Mmmm I did indeed love the very soft romantic feel I got reading, from reading this piece! Your words chosen like the beautiful subtle colors of the painting pictured! BRAVO!
This is beautiful and says so much. I don't believe in accidents. The mystery in the drawing, a coming together that was meant to be. So much can happen "all by a single candle light."
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
