Stories Collected While Living in France
When the moon passed by the open window,
the light poured in opening my eyes,
illuminating the curtain hanging in the room.
Bits of torn lace,
Scattered threads, like misplaced memories without knots,
Tattered feelings, forgotten, mostly unkept.
The curtain hadn’t changed…
in that dark night
everything became crystal clear.
Photo: Morceaux of fabric that told me a lifetime story in a glance.
You find the most precious objects and take me on their journey with the most beautiful words…Nel
Your fabric is so beautiful, in that light it looks mysterious and beckoning. I love the idea of memories having tattered, unkempt, scattered and torn appearance. I see silk, shiny fabrics, velvet, knotted and unknotted all interwoven to form life’s tapestry.
What seems tattered and torn is simply telling its story of the journey it’s been through.
If everything remained shiny and new on the outside, what a boring story we’d hear.
Thanks for the insightful words. Light does bring clarity and color to the world and to my life!!!
I enjoyed the link to the film clip.
May the light always shine in this dark world!
What beautiful fabric and the stories it could tell! Thank you for sharing once again your creative and beautiful slant on life.
It’s amazing how illuminating the full moon can be!
Really liked the utube link, including the music. Wishing you well.
Ah, yes moonlight and sunlight both can have transforming effects. Lovely.
Bella Luna Babeeeee
You are out of this world.
I love you Sugar plum!
i love this.
keep posting your poetry plz!

The moons soft light illuminates our quiet thought and memories, while the sun gives us the means to create them.
Beauty never changes it just gets renewed. This is very good!!
What is about fabric that is so appealing? As a quilt designer I love the thought that the fabric I stitch together will last beyond my years here. Who was the woman who stitched this curtain? Did she love as I love? Did she think her work would mean so much even today? I am sure she didn’t think a lady in Australia would be typing a comment at 2am about the moon resting on her work.
We had a ‘Harvest Moon’ last week, did it visit France too? Do tell more about this incredible piece of tattered bliss… Do you own it? How big is it? Its truly wonderful!
Beautiful, thankyou.
Gorgeous photo, Corey. You caught the light on that just right. And the words are paired beautifully. Scattered threads, forgotten feelings…
ahhhh moonlight!
moonbeam
like an
interrogation lamp
reveals the
naked truth
fraying seam
from
years of hanging
a treasure
seen by few
What a beautiful start to the weekend. Thank you Corey!
(btw, the YouTube rocks)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.
How wonderful to have a curtain with my two favorite colors…..teal and brown and a Lovely poem to tell.

Moonlight becomes you.
A beautiful poem…while reading it, I “saw” it all.

What fabric is this? it is just beautiful!
and your words…as always.
oxoxox

This posting has put me in the mood to travel. To visit little museums and search from room to room for inspirational treasures.
Thanks, lj
your words like light take me in a journey within myself…a discovery.
The lovely photo and words reminded me of one of my very first illustration assignments. It was called “The Unicorn Tapestry” and was about a little girl who was visiting her aunt who had hung a tapestry in her bedroom. When the moon shown on it, the unicorn seemed to disappear…
It was the first time I’d done fairly intensive visual reseasrch on tapestries (and how they are affected by moonlight) and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Keep writing your poetry for us. I’m impressed with your every day for a year record. I’m trying the same for NaBloPoMo just for the month. Sometimes it’s no problem, others a chore, my mind dry of words to share. I’m enjoying it mostly, but I’m sure I’ll relapse into two or three times a week once November is over.
wonderful corey, simply wonderful!
Talk about spectacular photographs! These are stunning and the poetry and prose are simply delightful…I cannot wait to sneak more bits of “eye candy” throughout the day! What a pleasant way to “ease” myself back to the reality of work…thank you 🙂
