A single glow of white light

​

May have little or no meaning

​

But with bright colors and unique shapes,

​

It is a neon painting full of feeling

​

As a woman with autism,

​

Verbalizing can be quite a struggle

​

But communicating through visual art and writing

​

Saves me from a lot of trouble

​

No fires, pyrotechnics, or sparklers

​

Not even one candle

​

Only used were toys, flashlights, and string lights

​

Safe and easy to handle

​

You will laugh, you will cry

​

Fear may even strike your heart

​

But whatever mood each image portrays

​

They are my works of art

​

Read through the haikus

​

And you will see

​

What each light painting

​

Represents to me

​

But go ahead and make your own interpretation

​

Be imaginative and free

​

That’s what art is all about

​

Creativity is the key

​

So, sit back and enjoy this journey

​

Stories to be told and a thrill ride of emotion

​

Both original and luminous

​

Strong feelings, both positive and negative, in every direction

​
