"Only then Regale My Eyes"  _ Denis Diderot (18th Century, French Philosopher)

Regarding his philosophical idea as to what function the artist has in the world, said the philosopher, Diderot …

"First move me, astonish me, break my heart, let me tremble, weep, stare, be enraged … Only then Regale My Eyes."

So, I figured I give it a try … as shown just above.

I have several times in my life, been accused of "thinking too much." It's true, but, I'm a deep believer in …

“The truth of the story lies in the details.” 
― Paul Auster

… both as an author and an artist.

The song, "One Sweet Day"

One Sweet Day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
Now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Yeah, Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Much appreciated; maybe one day the FP will get in line behind more humanistic venues.

With nature there is often beauty in decay.

pat, I chose the autumn Maple leaf as a metaphor … a once, healthy, living entity … one in the process of losing its very existence … and former vibrance … 

… to become a beautiful memory in the minds of those who knew in its earthly time.

My philosophical, artistic license two cents.

Alway happy to see you.
