This doodle is inspired by Flora s Bowley
and a quiet time at the lake..


i want to paint colours
like flora s bowley
droplets
and chrysalis
and
echoing rings on still water

yesterday
in the silence
of a cool fresh morning
i sat at the jetty

the mirror water as still
as still
and the tall raupo reeds
scarcely moving
their dance
of bending
and swaying

when
a
flora s bowley
dragonfly
tip - tip - tipped
the glass water surface

leaving
flora s bowley
intersecting circles

then stillness
and gone..

my camera lay helpless
on my lap

lap - lap - lap
went the stillness of water

oh
flora s bowley
paint me the dragonfly
and the never ending circles
on
mirror
water
