Painted with Memories

For three days in August
There was beauty
A blue lake
A black butte
A yellow cove
A gray sky
Smoke
Sights
Colors
Sounds
Silence
Unreal
Unimaginable
Like paintings come to life
But better
Like dreaming in color
But better
Like landscapes in heaven
But maybe better
More real
But landscapes beyond reality
Landscapes with no end
No beginning
Only without end
Landscapes with ghosts
Sighing
Singing
Breathing
Laughing
Dead and alive
Past and present
Traveling with stories
Painted with memories.
