My Being is rendered utterly mute by the power of the blossom
I am speechless …
Without vocabulary to adequately express
I have neither thought nor voice …
Sufficient to do justice to her beauty
Then … with the removal of light, with all of its revelations
I enter the realm of another sort of experiential awe
This visitation is suggested by line and contrast
‘Tis the eloquent Silhouette … Mistress of the Minimal
In the absence of detail, my Spirit picks up its brush
Coloring the Image with my own imaginings
The Silhouette invites my fuller participation … deeply within
My spiritual Voice is freed to whisper … even sing … its offerings
I participate, even more fully than possible in the presence of detail
Can it be true … that what seems Less, can be so much … More
