To all of you who have along the way
Pulled stars from the sky
And placed them onto the blue canvas
Of oiled frenzied fragments
That is my heart
Over the years contented/discontented
As in what it is to know
Each other -
Thoughtfully / openly/ through a distance
In ash, fog and things of light
Night / and along the scalloped edge of
The darkest missing parts
In wind / wideness and wonder
Over the unfolded and closed
What is perhaps or never shall
Enchantment and alchemic
Poised / perilous / poetry
I take these glittering
Great colors -
The panoramic moons
I chose this poem because I feel it is beautifully written and produces powerful imagery that I can create in my book. It is long enough to convey a powerful message without any redundancy.
I wrote a comment and it disappeared or never published- hope this one does
ReplyDeleteI am sincerely surprised to see a poem
written by me inspire such beautiful art worked
pages and would love to have a copy of the
paintings you have done
Thank you! it is lovely- the colors
and the stars and the whole thing
best,
