Look and see

The sunshine was so bright

that was absorbing some of the colors and the air was mellow hugging you with the love

of Mother Earth.

Suddenly the red of dazzeling color

opened just as you turned,

hard to believe that this splendor

is real and touchable

You did not have to hike the peak of mountains

to see what was right there

as you turned from left to right and

the amazing variety of landscape surrounded you.

Now just look down and you were walking in a living painting of Jackson Pollack

as the fallen leaves dripped under your foot like the paint of

the unforgattable painter of Long Island

who lived and died here to leave a memory

for ever.
