beyond memory,
embedded in every cell,
every muscle fiber,
kinetic response.
playing a waltz,
riding a bike,
painting a portrait--
perfectly;
the vision flows
through fingertips
to brush, to canvas,
without conscious knowledge,
after years of dormancy,
skill returns
hesitant at first,
then bursting forth,
tying past and present
moments of creativity
into one
existing outside
of time.

How marvelous Sue, and I so believe this too. I love the photo, when a woman shift in time it should be celebrated.
you have pointed with such a good accuracy different points that make humans to burst forth special moments of creativity...I like it!!
That creativity is so important. Excellently done.
What a wonderful take on this prompt...your words flowed just like paint on canvas. And the photo and matching self-portrait are beautiful!
Time...outside and inside all at once. A wonderful poem, Sue. How I wish I could find the waltz within me, though.
I don't think we'll ever lose the creative part of us, we'll always be creating no matter the time, that's what I get from reading your words
Beautiful portrait! You echo my thoughts about creativity..
deathly adventure
Also don't forget to post any of your creative works at Monday Poetry Train Revisited!
this poem makes me want to dig around in that drawer, you know the one, where all my paintbrushes are, those tubes of paint I put away so long ago, I think all way back from high school... and then I think, thank goodness for the drawer! (pun intended)
I have always admired ones who can put their paint brush into action better than a camera in many ways.
You are blessed.
a very nice take! :) good one!
Wonderful words. Exquisite painting! She's a lovely person and you've captured her essence perfectly!
Glad to hear the dormant skill activated to burst out the creativity!
This is excellent. We all go through a shift in time. If that were not so how could we grow.
Wonderful.

You've captured the prompt perfectly Sue. I can so relate to your words.
And what a wonderful portrait!
Aren't you just shining, Sue. Love to see your work and read your words.
Very nice portrait here, Sue. Should I flatter you and say this is all you? I won't step out on that limb, I will say your poet first person author is GREAT!
The give-away was one word, perfectly. No real person can attain that standard.

You have found the eternal rhythms and they are streaming from your brush tip. Happy to see your art flourishes. This quivers with life!
this is quite wonderful
your words
and your painting
I love the feeling of:
the past is within,
beyond memory,
embedded in every cell,
every muscle fiber,
