Description
ETHEREAL SUMMERS AGO, AGO
If lunacies have sunlight
for their unblinded eyes,
they live insistent here;
it is darkness that is not dark.
You are dark. The darkness
shines but, instead, you are
only dark. The light in every
skull knows you are dark.
In darkness you make light of it.
The image here? I would not
deny such perfect sanity.
You, companion,
take the world
for threads
of play
to be woven
in the making
from your hand.
It is an ethereal summer
when you rest ethereal,
like imagination seen,
kicking up some diamond fuss
in a sparkling maze
of diamond seeds,
caressing around corners
like vision, like a breeze.

The poem is by Canadian poet and writer James Strecker. He wrote this specifically for the image and he has been a great souce of encouragement, as well as a true friend. I have sent him more fractals over the last year that I am sure he can cover every wall in his house with them by now. I know there have been occasions he has had to really try hard to come up with the right word to not offend after receiving an email asking "What do you think of this one??"
Thanks Jim ... for hanging in there. If anything would have destroyed our friendship it would have been these fractals that keep appearing in your in-box. And my not handling criticism very well. Still can't, but I'm working on it. :)
Thank you for viewing.

Beautiful work, the poem and picture fit together perfectly. I love the elegance and classy look of the image, the orange flowers are gorgeous especially on the B&W background. Wonderful fractal!

Fantastic and complex fractal. Glorious....

The poem is thought-provoking and cuts to the quick. I love your image. The warm and cold combination of color makes for a striking contrast. Great design and personal expression.

sometimes the eyes move around within an image and thus live some part of their reality in it; and sometimes the image consumes the mind as the mind's only reality, in a kind of aeshetic hypnosis, one might say; but in this fractal no issue of separateness, of this and that, of perception and perceived arises. such elegant complexity surprisingly creates a resonant simplicity that, yes, makes time hold its breath

Wonderful complex fractal. Looks realy great !!

What a marvellous combination of good solid structure and, yes, aethereal fractal complexity. Here is a sound architectural base providing a safe take-off point for a filigree dream of decorative exuberance. The focus is constantly in motion but subtlely confined and controlled in a thoroughly satisfying composition. Poem [an excellent read btw] and image work beautifully in tandem. Bravo to both, but mostly to you!

I like the shredding on the edges. The poem and image are a good pairing, both have great depth.
