flowing

thumbnail's sun jewels
jitter with each heartbeat:
indra's dust devils

One Single Impression: Movement

~ this week's prompt is movement ~ try this and see if it works for you ~ view your plain thumbnail up close and out of focus in bright sunlight ~ you will see rainbow-speckled orbs hovering just above the surface ~ and as your pulse beats they judder and swirl like tiny whirlwinds ~

    This reminds me of being fascinated by dust in a sun beam.

    I could feel the build up of the electrons right before the lightning strike. Very nice.

    Throbbing thumbnail spots shining!
    Reminds me of El Paso, Texas. I loved to watch those things, Indra is the source?

    I think the word 'jitter' drives this poem home.
