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
