Surface Sight
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Hidden in a bowl

Where cherries sit.

Lie the ideas lost

In a crowded mind.

 

When will they surface

And be recognized?

One day you will see them

And marvel at beauty in sight.

 

Words can entice the brain

More than any pictures.

For feel and touch are sensual

Beyond what pictures can do.

You're so right about ideas being easily lost. I daydreamed a great poem/song this morning only to find it gone when I tried to write it down.

I have equally enthralled with good word pictures and good real pictures making use of vivid colors and imaginative landscapes. To me images are but a continuum of expression ranging from simple binary symbols to colors so deep you can dive into them.

words bear images, pictures bring us images as well, beyond them both there are numbers, therefore, our words imprint those images onto our imaginations like a picture, making it deeper and sharper – kind of like staining it onto our internal canvas made from the warp and weft, which are even and odd numbers. . . .

I wish I had a penny for every line of words I have imagined and then forgot. Words are simply magic. Don't you agree? Bob

You are so right, George!! I can read a book and then see the movie...............forget it! The book and the imagination, along with pictures, does so much more!!

Love ya!
