Imitation of Life in a Granule of Sand...

Imitation of Life (2017)

The Senses...

I don’t understand?

It’s not clear…

***

My hands feel

each

granule of sand.

My nose smells

the scent

of the earth.

I can hear

millions of voices

speaking.

I can taste

the sky

with

my tongue.

My eyes see

a forest

of minds.

My heart

beats

to the pain

(…and joy)

of being.

My soul reaches

into the depths

of eternity.

***

Perhaps…

it’s ALL too clear!

The King of Glory

A Psalm of David.

          24 

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,

    the world and those who dwell therein,

for he has founded it upon the seas

    and established it upon the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

    And who shall stand in his holy place?

 

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

    who does not lift up his soul to what is false

    and does not swear deceitfully.

 

He will receive blessing from the Lord

    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Such is the generation of those who seek him,

    who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

Lift up your heads, O gates!

    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

    that the King of glory may come in.

Who is this King of glory?

    The Lord, strong and mighty,

    the Lord, mighty in battle!

 

Lift up your heads, O gates!

    And lift them up, O ancient doors,

    that the King of glory may come in.

 

Who is this King of glory?

    The Lord of hosts,

    he is the King of glory! Selah

Searching for Springtime...

Winter has come late, here... the deluge of snow burying the crocuses and snowdrops. It's March tomorrow, with no end of snow in sight on the West Coast....

The cherry blossoms on the trees have gone into deep freeze in the past week... the Arctic chill reaching from the West Coast to the UK... 

We await for the Birds, Blooms and Blossoms of Spring... while turning up the heat a little higher in our homes... yearning for the sunshine, rain and rainbows...

A Flood of Poetic Proportions....

The deluge of rain endless, with dark clouds and fog... 

Feeling like the epic flood of new beginnings and life...

Soon Springtime will arrive, where life explodes in joyful blooms and vibrant colours... 

Peeling back the clouds of night, the blue sky turns on the light!

Aseasonal Haiku 

Joy, Spring-time arrives

Flora and fauna, anew

Birth, fresh beginnings

***

Summer days, heat-waves

Two-headed frogs in a pond

Chemical plant brew

***

An Autumn harvest

American Gothic farm-

house, crumbling, falling

***

Winter dark, icy.

A shot, a cry; murderous

See there, blood on snow

New Year! New Beginnings!

"An Owly New Year 2018"
(painted in 2017 😉)

I imagine.

And,

My Muse says,

“Create!”

But, it’s all been

done before!

And,

there’s nothing

new

under the Sun!*

I read.

My Muse says,

“Write!”

So,

I will write, I will create, I will PAINT…
