Glimpsed
Did you, by any chance
See how
Her eyes lit up ..
That same moment she
Spied all
The pretty glass bottles,
Laid out
In rows, across our old
Mantel-shelf ..
Like a rainbow army of
Flickering
Lifelike statues ..
Each one reflecting tiny
Glints,
Slivers and whole chunks
Of light
Refracted ..
Just like, prisms dancing ..

I, rodent-like, added water to those glass bottle of wine! lol. I'm a furry pest.
many a true word spoken in jest sir rat ..
The pairing ot the lighting up of her eyes with the glints from the bottles no accident, Synchronicity Jung felt was a force of equal validity to causation. I ching as valid as probability. What on the surface may seem casual may be causal. Just babeling Neville
out of all those whom I was one required to study from the psychoanalytical arena, Jung is my absolute fave .. and I quite like the cut of your jib sir 🐧
Anything bright and shiny has its distinct appeal, even polished chrome and stainless steel.
I am more of a pastel kinda guy .. but can see what you mean ..
Exactly so.
The view from my kitchen window (breakfast) sans palms, sky distant, foreground corrugated roof. Over eight years assembly a carefully curated line of bottles (not one screw top) block the corrugations, while they play patterns through the glass…….. her eyes have yet to light up…might have traded her in if she hadn’t other virtues……
the she in question is my granddaughter sir dog .. and she's just turned 15monthss old ..
You might 'a told me...
Excellent write Nevilie

Funny how, when something changes color we all become amazed. Refracted light like in a rainbow or here in your "bottles" can light up someone's eyes. It's a scene well painted by you. I loved " prisms dancing." - Phil A.
Thanks tons my friend .. Neville
What, forsooth, is it about light, glittering, flickering, twinkling in whatever medium, that draws the eye and soul almost with a gasp of excitement? But it forever does. The elusive female observed, breathtaken for a moment in that glance translates into a deeper instance of reflection. Fascinating and intriguing, charming and beautifully rendered with excellent imagery, this tantalizes. Thank you for sharing.
Odds bodkins & gadzooks Ma'am you just made me smile ever so .. 😎🐧👍
Excellent, prism logic.
Thank you Dan
May those prisms of light always dance in your life Neville.
Andy
Now wouldn't that be lovely ..
May that little girl’s eyes always sparkle and catch the light in life wherever it is, and may her Grandfather have many opportunities to witness it. Prisms dancing are so beautiful. Refracted light on glass shards always memorable. Such a visual delight Neville.
Many thanks my lovely friend .. Astrid is unfortunately poorly again hence my arriving here so late in the day .. looks like we have her over the weekend too .. I shall set up those bottles again for her un the hope they can work a little magic .. Neville
Lovely
