IMMERSED IN TIME
The peeling layers of memory
within the misted glass expose
a private universe recalled
with analytic faculty.
As routes forgotten manifest
the ghosts return in naked form
and poison lies in memories wounds
that fester still and rarely heal.
The mirror's slowly lifting gauze
reflecting clear as vision sights
the memories complex corridors
to planets long immersed in time.

Good though provoking write.
Similarly the picture is drawing me into it. Into where? Watch this space.
thanks Goldfinch
the poem is deep and your painting is examining me? I love this work Michael , I'm sinking in. ww
So deep I'm not sure if I understand it - cheers Willy. Don't sink too far.
THANKS MICHAEL ~ for caring & sharing. Love the abstract ~ it has what i call inner glow like many of the images from the Hubble Telescope. As both GF and Willy have noted the painting does draw one into the centre and creates a desire to explore. This (for me) is true of all the Hubble images ~ OK. Now to the poem ! That too is enigmatic and poses many questions and mysteries ~ a true enigma ~ about everything and nothing simultaneously ~ exploring the memories complex corridors ~ awesome ! Thanks for scaring ! Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian - your kind comments mean a lot
Memories, recalled within the mind, and some are toxic reminders. We carry them with us throughout life, but it seems they choose when to pop up. I think your abstract looks like one of those ghosts trapped in a poisonous environment, yet it is still a beautiful thing. - Phil A.
