The Lipstick God
Paints the pale mouth
Shaping the stage of words
~
But can the Lipstick God
Paint the deserts
Paint the oceans
Paint the skies
Shape the harmonies and
Feel
Reflect
The colours of the wind
Alone?

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Gemma, this is wonderful. I love how you asked the Lipstick God if she/ he could paint the world we see around us, alone. I have to wonder if the Gods could feel/ reflect as we do. Nice job. Have a nice day.
how artistic this statement is... what has that power?? i cannot even begin to imagine.....
oh my, this is beautiful, and
the question is seductive.
