Rose’s Garden

Rose’s Garden

 Nevermore to Hide

How often have I glanced
only to fall in head over heals and back
onto stare way to heavenly
in the center of perfection

 

 

Queen of Stripes

Queen of Stripes

Her Majesty’s Self

Whether standing or not,

filled with power or something sour

the Queen of Stripes

knows naught

but else she has ordered herself

Earth Prayer

Earth Prayer

For All Living Beings

 

Originally the basis of this image was an illuminari (chalk painting) that I created on the tarmac at a benefit for the Philharmonic in Auburn.  The prayer is revised from a poem that I wrote in the Daily Napkin.

Some images and writings that I create sing to me differently on different occasions, and sometimes they always pluck the same heart strings over and over again, ringing true like a bell.  Prayers for the earth and all living beings on her always ring true for me, so this is not a re-purposing of image or poem, but rather an enrichening.

Feel free to share it with anyone whose heart it will touch. I see us all holding hands to pray even through the little dancing electrons of our computer screens.

After the Geese

After the Geese

The World Turned to Cement

There just isn’t much to say after the birds have gone.
