Shards of Moon


Where shards of moon spill
Over night dreams gone astray,
Echoes sing your name.

That's a beautiful work of art you've created. Even the small image here on the "net" conveys.....

Oh, that is beautiful. The painting and the poem, both are haunting, and the image of a fractured moon is inspiring me.

A painting, a haiku, the spirit of beauty, disciplined and free, knowing and questioning - reflective light so beautifully held.

Thank you.

Beautiful canvas and words accompanying it to draw the mind in.

It is with hope that those echos reverberate for another generation yet.

Just wondering how did you bring that moon light in that pitch darkness effect in this piece of art!!! Just amazingly!

Gentle and eerie at the same time - love the general opaque imagery and the words are wonderful.

I like the painting very much, and the quiet words. The lines have a sensuality to them.

The painting is very beautiful but the haiku did it justice :)

Beautiful! I love the haiku, and the painting takes my breath away. The moon through the clouds is so awesome. And those trees! Gorgeous. I could just climb right in:)

That was absolutely lovely, Cat. Linda is right- it was simply magical!

Cat, this is my favorite painting of yours. By a long shot. And not because the others were anything less than spectacular. But just because these moon rays shot right through me.

What a gorgeous, hushed, silky feel. I wanted to be there. I was, for a moment.

And I love the tribute. Those echoes still sound.

Cat, this painting reminds me of Robert Frost's poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening which also reminds me of of Ted Kennedy. Lovely artwork Cat, evoking a batch of emotions.
