The Moment By Dorothy Walters

And not once,
but many times over,
again and again,
how we disappeared
into that deep well
of darkness, shuddering beneath that load of silence,
clinging to our narrow ledge.

Yet the darkness, sometimes,
unfolded as light.
Our atoms dissolved in it,
each separate molecule opening
into a radiant disk of feeling.

How still we became,
witness and thing seen,
spectacle and observer,
each point admitting an untrammeled flood.

I can't seem to edit the photo to get the proper colors. Then again, even if I had the exact color, monitor calibration varies from computer to computer. Digital showings require quite a bit of flexibility. It's good training. An artist's job is to make work and then let it go. The world will do with it as it will just as it does with everything else. The value of the work to an artist is not determined solely by its reception, it's determined by how the process of making the work effects and changes the artist.
