Images upon a wall,

black and white and silver gray.

Subtle tones that catch the eye,

glimpses of another world.

Thoughts return to childhood

or ponder on a recent theme.

Stark plains and shapes reflecting light,

softer lines recalling dreams.

 

Images upon a wall,

pictures of my secret place.

Hidden in my deepest soul

to be enjoyed in solitude.

 
 

David Garlick, Victoria, 1988
