Late evening

(Forgive me, Gerald, if it was meant to be a watery sunset!!!)

MY TRUE COLOURS

My offering does not include pines but I think the green is PINE GREEN  as requested.


This is another painting from Gerald Gee, whose work I really enjoy. He published it only today.

LATE EVENING.

Sometimes
The Unseen
Is a more powerful image
Than the Seen.
*
He could have painted a disc,
A coin,
A plate,
Any old circle of white.
*
He could have hung it there
In a convenient space
Between the trees.
*
The light could have streamed from
That predictable moon.
*
We could have said
'Ah'
And turned away.
*
But, because the moon
Has invaded our minds
Rather than our eyes,
We savour it, taste it.
Trace it's outline
Again and again.
*
That invisible moon
Is made manifest
By
The magic of imagination.
*
His and mine.
*

 Another way of looking at the moon here:

I torn between whether I like your verse or the painting the most - both are so effective, so clever.

Ths silver light cries moonshine to me too - a full moon hung in a dark starry sky on a cold night with a hint of frost in the air.

Happy New Year to you!

The painting is beautiful. I'll visit Mr. Gee's blog. Love the poem, too.

Lovely poetry, Rinkley! Tonight is a blue moon as you might have read about on my blog. Happy New Year to you and your family! :)

The verse is certainly well-suited to the painting!
