Unexpected tenderness! With the muse of love and life. Nice work.
A stunning beautiful piece, just like your poem, is a piece of art! . Your word gouache had me running for my dictionary, and as I suspected, it has a French origin, hahaha! Really loved the subtlety and nuances in your poem, an insightful, zen-like imagery. Thank you for sharing, Cigeng.
