Black Orchid Dawn Commentary
  BLACK ORCHID DAWN
 
  The Commentary
   
 

Midnight strokes brushed by the dawn tell the story of Charlie and Kimmie at Black Orchid Dawn. The ebony-inked narrative unfolds between a hummingbird boldly stroked and its delicate orchid caressed by his textured, fluttering wings.  Hovering mid-air with outstretched wings, the magnificent bird with its imposing presence courts the softly nuanced petals of the orchid.   The humming reminiscent of the song and stringed melody of that Black Orchid midnight evokes a memory of forgotten places, the sweet sounds of the birds along the Californian shore, and the chance of a lifetime.   

Savoring all possibilities, midnight courts dawn at the celestial horizon.  Audible beneath the ebony ink, the hum of his wings shapes midnight currents and whispered poems.  The persuasive, rhythmic sound of his drumming wings coax time herself to linger on the orchid’s unfolding, ruffled petals.  Defying gravity with his powerful flared tail, this winged messenger in constant motion is simultaneously still, stable, and calm where a thousand midnights coalesce into one.
