Visual Poems | Ode to a White Dress | Living Oil Paintings

"Summer in White"
What woman does not dream of summer days,
A dress of white adrift in sunlit haze?

Upon the breeze, the snowy hem takes flight,
A gentle thought released into the light;
She may not stay, though something of her stays,
A drifting vision through the distant ways.
When sunshine meets the white, it starts to flow,
Across the meadow where the waters go;
Her image blurs, a memory grown obscure,
Yet in the mind, her visits still endure.

The silent white has nothing it will speak,
Yet holds the secret words we softly seek—
Of untamed youth, of freedom to explore,
Of half-told stories left forevermore.

We watch her as the hours begin to fly,
Like colors fading in the evening sky;
The lighter she appears, the less to hold,
The briefer, yet the truest to behold.

In this video, the white dress is not a character, but a moving presence—appearing in the wind, in the light, and in the brief moment your gaze comes to rest, before it gently fades away.
