BENEATH THE PAINTED SKY
"Beneath the painted sky, that's where I want to be
A Place to go when this old world gets the best of me
A Place where dreams come true and no one ever says goodbye
I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky"Blue Skyskypaintinggirlnightcloudsphotographybarbara simmonsbarbara simmons photographycompositeblue

'MID NIGHT BLUES'
My mother passed away not too long ago. So many things remind me of her.
A few weeks ago, going thru some of Mom’s things; I found this blue night gown. I held it to my face and then put it on, anything to feel closer to her. Coincidentally, the Joe Bonamassa song entitled “Mid Night Blues” was playing on the stereo. The whole concept came together in an instant.
This composite image is made up of numerous photographs taken when I was with Mom. The sky, clouds, birds, rainbow, field…and, of course, her blue nightgown. I am grateful to have a medium thru which to express myself.bluemidnightwomanmelancholymemoriesbirdsnightcompositebarbara simmons photographyphotograph
'NOT FORGOTTEN'
If he prayed, he prayed for light. Not for the sun, for that fell too much.
But to see again the glint running along the handlebar of his son's bike.
One not yet bought but feared as given by another father.
If he loved, it was not death, nor country, nor others fallen, but his mother's ashtray, and the ghost of smoke where ashes dropped.
If he cried, it was not for Fate, but for peach blossoms falling unseen and not forgotten.
If he cried, he did not cry as one forgot, but to create the rain falling, so many drops, enough to make a lake.
If he cried, or loved or prayed it was not for something he remembered
But for what is not to be forgotten. - Charles Bechtel
