My first time at your blog, Jaya. What an artistic blog it is. Truly beautiful and contemplative. Your poem is superb. I love the crisp verbs. Powerful. Evocative. Wish I could paint. The photograph is inspiring, too. All best to you!

Your talent to conjure and evoke exquisite imagery always stuns. I particularly enjoyed the feeling and imagery of “chocolate brown” after the slipper description; and of course, “salty dawn” evokes numerous memories and images for me of time spent at the sea. Gorgeous write, Jaya!
Jaya Avendel

I love the flow of images that you evoke here – each line is a new image, tied loosely to the ones before and after, and the reader gets to flow through and see the unmentioned connections between them. Each read adds more to the imagery. Thank you for sharing.
Jaya Avendel
Thank you for this wonderful comment!

Salty dawn is what I would like to hear, breathe, see, experience.
Not only crystal shoes make me think of a journey between dream and reality, so I thank you very much Jaya because it is as if you have given me a bridge.
