Stay: Leaving

I remember the pigments a different way--

bejeweled and gilded tones--

standing with cocked heads and clasped hands. 

I see the fuzzy edges of the original

viewed darkly through despair

and forming shadows that were never there:

misunderstood representations

for which there was no 

interpretation--



seen now through the clear-cut

kaleidoscope of hope and hindsight bias

the pictures of possibilities change into 

unpredictable patterns.

New expressions form under different light;

scenes and stories not yet explored

darken the past and illumine emotions.



The brush strokes are the same... I just see more of them now.
