Description
At the opening of the lacuna -
a fanfare of silence
in the envelope of time.
Biting again at the question of balance -
does the shifting on the fulcrum alter the score
in the game of change?
Is there time to sit and ponder?
Of course - we have always
had license to sink into the cocoon.
- But what happens when the senses lie?
- Who was to blame for the next war?
- Is there peace behind the mask of fear?
- Should we suffer the silence or sever the pain?
- Does it make sense to starve to life?
- How does it feel to burn with love?
Is the way out also the way back in?

Although I've posted a string of quite dark images, I'm actually feeling quite cheerful in a Kurt Vonnegut kind of way (laughing and crying at the same time). Anyway, I thought these words dredged from the vaults could do with an airing...
Once again, I do apologise for my scarcity in the galleries - publisher's deadlines wait for no-one :o(
Thanks for all the views, comments and favourites on my previous images - each one is hugely appreciated.

Beautiful flame and mood!!!
You did very lovely work! Great!
Beautiful poem and fractal! Excellent!
I do not understand unfortunately everything but I think this is Poetry
wonders with each thought depends on the answers when questions inside still I sit here and ponder and learn what I think and know there is more so much more and too many ands' wonderful work my friend warm hug with a smile, Linda
I'm always impressed with talented writers, because it's beyond me.
Wonderful picture and a very thoughtful words.
You have a way with words. Great fractal too
This is excellent!
Oh my. You have given us so much to consider in this! The only thing I know for sure: The way out is rarely the way back in, but the reverse is often true. Excellent work!
Beautiful work. Nice presentation! ")
All great questions, well presented, and I love the accompanying fractal.
Too many unanswerable questions but ones that need to be asked. Introspective words and fractal.
Beautifully written my friend. And in particular these three lines struck a chord with me. I've asked the first line myself, many times, and have done both. In the second line... I actually know what this is like as well, the feeling is similar to a very hot day that is rewarded with a shower of rain.. the cleansing from that rain is the best ever in your lifetime even if it happens many times. Lastly... It starts with a burning of anticipation, then is fueled by a burning of hope, and while your entire existence is blazing in ferocity, the moment you finally touch... is that very moment. - Should we suffer the silence or sever the pain? - Does it make sense to starve to life? - How does it feel to burn with love? Brilliant questions, to make one ponder many things. Keep up the great work ;-)
Very nice image. Great lighting and colours! Well done.
so many questions; i wish i had answers--wonderful words and image!!
Well written prose,and a very nice abstract to accompany it...very well done Craig!
Excellent thoughts, perfectly composed. First it was Gentle Giant now the Moody Blues! To answer your questions: yes yes we become confused all of us who let it happen no sever the pain yes it hurts...bad Do I win?
Very well written, Craig. And the imagery accompanying it serves to reinforce the words.
Beautifully written and lovely image! Well done.
great title for the splash of luminous frac running across the black BG
