In Tandem - "Possibilites"

My daughter's silk painting (before it was "ironed")

Possibilites

At her fingertips
a rainbow exits,

youthful exuberance
sprinkled like fairy dust
upon pristine avenues
yet untried and 

still aglow 

as her imagination
conquers all

unaware 

she might fail;

her world
still magical.

    In unawareness
    chance of failure...
    less and less.

    Daughter-artist will travel far, my prediction. 24-hours...there are no more in any day.
    Lovely stuff here.

    PEACE!

    Such a beautiful, simple way to tell of the naivety of someone who has not experienced life ~ and what a wonderful way to live!

    What a beautiful silk painting! And a beautiful sentiment you've captured. If only that magic could stick around forever, untainted.

    "unaware she might fail; her world still magical."

    Loved those lines. I think I'll think on her rainbows for a little bit :)

    "unaware

    she might fail;

    her world
    still magical"

    It's a sad day when the magic fades.
