Everything You Imagine Is Real – Pablo Picasso
An Excerpt from my new book on Kindle, The Healing Riverbeds – USD0.99cents
“Mom, have you heard of Picasso? The great Pablo Picasso, the Spanish Painter?”
Sandra nodded that she did. “Why what about him, my dear child?”
Anna replied, quite philosophically, “He said, Everything you imagine is real.”
listen in your childhood to the hour that white in the blue memory borders white in her very blue eyes and piece of indigo of sky of silver the white white traverse cobalt the white paper that the blue ink tears out blueish its ultramarine descends that white enjoys blue repose agitated in the dark green wall green that writes its pleasure pale green rain that swims yellow green –
excerpt from Wikipedia, one of Pablo Picasso’s early poems.

The Rainbow Of My Past
It could have included you, this rainbow from my past,
It trailed the skies in seven hues,
It presented itself as an illustrious sign of novelty.
.
As it trailed to the other end of the universe,
Where distance was the only thing that separated us,
I stood in awe at its incredulous beauty,
A tinge of its rays falling softly upon me.
.
I looked as far as my eyes could see,
Would it perhaps be the sign that leads me to where paradise is?
I so want to see if it belonged to another world,
I so want to be part of its fabled conception.
I sat by the Sea that day,
Wondering about the rainbow that set my heart aflame,
I could have been the seraph with a message that said,
“It could have been you on that rainbow with me.”
