Doug : Back Yard Artist Acceptance

Acceptance

Posted on Aug 15th, 2007 by Doug : Back Yard Artist Doug
The emerald light,

the quiet before dawn, 

the old green chair that I carried from one shore

to the sea, here.

The occasional car passing to where,

 the red lights stream across the wall.

The painting I made for you now becoming clearer

in the brightening light,

The yellow lights of night gently blink once more and out.

I'm quiet now too.

It seems like no one was ever there during those hours before morning, when I fell exhausted into bed the night before into a brief dreamless sleep. But now I know you were both there with me.

Thank you for being here with me Hummy and Nicole.
