Homecoming

Home
I am home again,
Rainwashed, purpled
Strung jewelled squirts
Whitepinkfuschiaorangerustturmeric
And green- the emerald vividness of
Bevelled facets, the moss of velvet teasingly spread
Spikes and fronds and umbrellas and curtains
Pot paths disappearing into pools of cloudsky
And thousand hands, tugging me in
Home.

I love the color-board. Something I've never ever read before :) Nice one!

Thanks Ash! Yes it was something I was trying for the first time myself. I was very taken by the idea of how the rain washed colours together in a window like a watercolour board painted over in places with oils for depth. You know the sheen that comes with oils on waterwashes? That was fascinating.. and the sense that with no human hand all this looked so perfectly synchronised and arranged. Snapshots of a design beyond our comprehension and an intense sense of communion with a feeling called home :)
