This painting by Silvia Williams seems to be in motion -- The sky slanting down toward the flowers; the flowers leaning toward the sky. Wouldn't it be nice to step into this meadow?

Remote Benevolence
Across the day's page
...................... the sun script slants
.................to the lavender reaches:
the blood of the ground
............................ pulses inside rusty racemes.

Hunger for light -
.......can we grasp its must?
................What does the flower tell
................What does the flower tell
the sun as it swallows?
.............The sun tells no one
what it knows:
The one who is most absent
is most present.
The one who is most absent
is most present.
