- Woman Hanging Laundry by Cammile Pissaro, 1887
From Lush to Love
In the very back of the garden, behind the evergreen bush
resides a homeless gent who years ago was labeled a lush
life had dealt him a bad hand; he’d reached the end of his rope
so he drowned his misery and pain and gave up all hope
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at his table
the poor gent became just what his peers had labeled
In the middle of the garden under the bright sunshine
stood a single mother hanging cloths on the line
She knew the pain of being judged and ostracized
Yet with the faith of her being, above all obstacles she’d rised
she found a loving connection with the man at her garden’s inn
so she made it a point that he’d have at least one friend
so each day after retrieving her cloths off the line
she’d invite him into her home for a hot meal and wine
he’d tell her the stories that lead to his fall from grace
to each sad story she’d give a positive spin in its place
she reminded him he had a beautiful soul and loving heart
as time moved on he embraced each day with a fresh new start
he developed a positive out look on life and love
Discovering his true self, he became aligned thereof
and as life would have it, with a bottle of wine at the table…
the peaceful gent became just what the kind mother had labeled

This post kind of reminds me of you…. That light that you give…sometimes in the darkness, and that time not so long ago where I kind of just fell off the edge…I come here..just to read your words and feel your light. Just to touch something pure…simple…kind of healing in a way…Probably sounds really weird lol

Can I get my rainbow bubbles with hints of misty moss and lemon scented?? Can I? Can I ??
I am assuming you wrote the story to fit the painting and it’s absolutely brill, to send chills. Maybe she was ostracized because the babe was out of wedlock, yet in him she found a true love, as pure as anything ghats hood and of God.
That’s — not ghats.
LOL, good not hood??? Sending you many misty moss and lemon scented rainbow bubbles to bring in a peace-filled, love-filled, laughter-filled New Year. They often pop before your very eyes, right in your hands, leaving a zesty mist full of all potential and possibilities for 2010!
Peace, Light and Love, C.
