Silliness Lovers

Emotive nonsense
tickles my fancy
so, I do a little dancy
waving my arms
 
You can be silly
and play willy nilly
while the full moon plots
to whisper sweet nothings
 
The pool is full
and it’s spilling over
Oh, we’re silliness lovers
and that grape got away!

Change. Happens.

Oops!  A change!
It happens without warning sometimes….
 
Like the bud popping open
the moment of conception
or the flash of epiphany
 
Change.  Happens.
 
Oh, what a glorious ride
(Life = Change)
 
Flowing along
in the eternal 
now moment of change

Hide and Seek

When in the depths
of the darkest night
it can be so hard
to remember the light
 
Yet the fact is
we need only turnaround
like the spinning earth
to receive the blessing
 
The truth is it is all of God
it is all light
We only choose to pretend
that we can play hide and seek

Like Kilroy – and Accidental Drawing

He appeared on my desk…an accidental drawing

I see faces everywhere. Always have. And when I start to draw, faces appear. It’s just the way it is.

I accidently spilled some permanent ink on my desk the other day, while I was playing with a pen/brush thingy that was really cool, instead of working on what I was “supposed” to be working on. I tried to wipe it up with some paper that I had at hand on it’s way to the recycle bin. It didn’t work real well, because before I could really clean it up, there was this fellas eye staring back at me.

Of course, I immediately dripped some more ink on my desk, and semi-wiped it up. There he was – my accidental drawing! With a tiny tweak or two I had a new visage for my desk. I don’t know if he really can be cleaned off my desk. One day, I’ll get tired of him staring peekedly at me, and I’ll attempt it. In the meantime, I dressed him up with some layers here, and wrote him a poem. I thought I’d give him a moment in the limelight before destroying anything.

Song of Life

He sang with all his heart
 
All his body, all his soul
resonating even in his toes
 
He sang his life for his life
for connection to the One
It is all, it is ALL
 
Beautiful, disparate, life
filled with grief and joy
pain and ecstasy
 
Every note dedicated
committed, filled with longing
 
He sang with all his heart…
He Sings to the Moon and Stars

He Sings to the Moon and Stars

A Modern Wise Man 

I’m not sure what knocked me off track. There was a death in the family and lots of exciting activities – many of them involving my creativity, so it’s not like I haven’t been creating images. I have. I have not posted any for almost a month however.

So I am back. I went to a place for tea this evening, and drew this. I used a tiny blurry photo of a friend of mine for a loose model, and just had fun. Then, after scanning, I got jiggy with it, adding some layers etc. Why not have fun? It’s definitely a way to get me back on track.

Exploration

On an exploration
through known territory
I’ve lived here many years
and memorized all the turns
and quirks and niches
and potholes along the way
———————————–
We have this dance
and we both know most of the steps
———————————–
On expedition
on the invisible bridge
between past and future
It looks the same
yet there are no guarantees…

Whole Lot of Love

What’s the difference?
Between one day and 10 years?
between just met and happily married
 
– A whole lot of Love
through ups and downs
stresses and playtimes
difficulties and easy street
 
– A whole lot of Love
 
Here’s to 10 to 20!


(We started dating ten years ago in July)

Peace Eternal

Through the twittering green
the sky flickers turquoise
 
Lying back, feet rise
and the whispering silence
sneaks up suddenly
cradled by the close support
 
Floating, floating
in a peace eternal
 
Into an eddy
where the frogs emerge
onto wild shore
