A Color Ballet

February 24, 2015 By Barbra Wolfe 3 Comments

abstract painting of brush strokes

Last night my eyelids she did color.
Paralyzed in sleep, I watched in awe.
As from behind a see-through canvas
Came an invisible brush and amazingly colored paints.
From right to left
and left to right.
Image, image, clear.
Image, image, cleanse.
Continuous fluid brushstrokes
perhaps done to music.
Music I could not hear.

A glimpse of Heaven she did share
for such vivid colors exist no where.
What message lies beneath this beauty?
Swiftly painted and then erased!
Let me see again.
Let me peek again.
While I’m still on earth.

A Color Ballet –
— a Message from My Sister
Date: Sometime mid-2006

Addendum 11/11/14:

My sister inspired this color show.
This much I do know.
I know because she knew I’d know.
Because I miss her so.

The Unicef Card

January 27, 2015 By Barbra Wolfe 2 Comments

Greeting Card with two girls walking into the light

I look at this card every day.  They look so much like us.

Chubby One and Chubby Two.  I think they’re really us.

I watch their paths converging, the rainbow in the sky.

You’re just a step ahead of me. I want to ask God why.

I know you’ll meet me on my way. Of that I have no doubt.

Into the light, hand in hand, I pray to take your route.

This is Just the Beginning

Finding Billyniceguy is just the beginning of many stories and books to come. I thank Richard Warren for putting the Tales from the Silver State II anthology together. It was a painless way to become officially published.
