Peace is a Paisley Dress(c) Singleton 2008
SOLD
October swing,
wooden and crickety,
crooked and old...
tick~tocking over the gravel driveway...
I lean way back
and stretch my legs out
pointy toed to
kiss the sky
and swing higher,
rock dust
powdering my cheeks,
eyes closed.
And I remember...
The sound of the tires
crunching the gravel...
Peek~a~boo smiles...
Accidental million mile hello's...
And in the wind,
my paisley dress
dances,
one last ballet fading...
And swinging here....
swooping back to earth and flying high...
I'm a butterfly for just a moment...
11 x 11 Orignal on recycled cardboard. Background tye dyed with shaving cream and food coloring. Paisley Peace scribbled from this hippie's memories....

Ibeati...
Clink!
My favotie word....
If I could write it in the sky,
scribble it on every sidewalk,
whisper it to every breeze...
Peace...
And if it could be heard...
in any medium....

I think peace did billow in on the wind...
perhaps what kindled this memory,
this moment,
this peace....
Much love my friend,
and peace,
my forever wish for all!
Karma....Clink! Me, too, girl! Something free and lovely about paisley....
perhaps it's just nostalgia....
Much love, little one!
Ain't Ila!

LOL! Love you~
I recently had a swing experience with Jack,,,
only thing that would have made it more magical was if I'd been wearing paisley.
Thank you, great post
Babs....
Only thing that would make a paisley dress more magical is
a memory like that!

You're gonna call me nuts

I am
but I have to say that in the fourth line of my last comment
there shouldnt have been a "my"
I know you know
but thought id say it anyway
just in case you thought i
had a stroke or something ;)
Miss you!!!
Thought of you today
by a cyan sea,
Love, M
Maithri.....
Muah! I read it just as you meant it, never pickin' up for one moment on any missed line....
And that sea of yours must
splash and spray the universe...
because
when peace whispers,
I hear you, my friend!
Peace~love and Saturdays are free
