Gutsy

Maybe to you this is just a lovely photo of a few flowers on a keyboard...

To me, it seemed a little gutsy to let that vase play on the edge of the minor keys... where it could so easily slip...drench the ivories with liquid and lilacs (oh, lilacs, the sweet-scented flower that poets plant in verse, to signal death).

Sometimes I envy such small courageous acts... and wonder if they are the root, or the harbinger, of major courage beyond the drawing room.
