Late-winter Horizons: Poem and Painting.

YOU ARE MY HORIZON III (detail) Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown, acrylic on canvas, 2010)

--------------------------------

The angel arrived
having the mass
and volume and
hugeness of a mountain range,

While at the same
time the weight and shape and distance
of an entire cloud-massed sky,

and then
The shore-destroying beauty
of breaking
waves.



And the angel’s message,

silent, was:



Listen;


Wait;



And again,



-completely-




Listen.
