Picture
three paintings by Frances Clarke (UK) contemporary
​dance of stillness
in the middle blue
then greet the world
Picture
​a bridge is formed
of one hand
holding out to another
Picture

​the circle is full
empty, full
like breath


                                                                                                       looking back at you 
                                                                                                       is the mirror 
                                                                                                       of your own kindness


                           mirror reflects
                           empty circle of violet
                           the space within you
