New Landscapes: Winter – Departure Songs And Shattered Recordings

New Landscapes: Winter - Departure Songs And Shattered Recordings

Oh if it’s more than I should
It’s more than I ever could
If my heart needed you to stay
At the end of the day
Would you go

Oh my life’s story is so thin
Underneath this torn skin
Lost in the hardness
Of this bitter chill
– a Winter
With nothing more to fill

Oh it’s more than I ever should
– if only
I could

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

This piece is one of my favorites. In designing this digital collage I was attempting to bring the mind to a point of focus. Everlasting Consciousness. The Awareness of Light. This piece may not necessarily point to more traditional forms of geometric art. But I do believe it does perhaps achieve an ethereal, spacial, mathematical sensibility. Consciousness is design. Consciousness in its geometric form … is Divine.

New Landscapes: Winter – Tape Loops And Departure Songs

New Landscapes: Winter - Tape Loops And Departure Songs

I just want to lie down
In the cold white snow
And listen
To the dreams
Come crashing down

I just want to sit down
In the bitter Winter snow
And listen
To the silence
Come screaming in

Here is a rewind from my trip to New Orleans. An earlier post entitled: A Bridge Never Too Far (A Seeing Through Everything Remix). I thought this digital collage would be perfect for this challenge. A layered fusion of angles and perspective. Hope you enjoy.

New Landscapes: Winter – A Wonderland Of Dreams With You

New Landscapes: Winter - A Wonderland Of Dreams With You

A dream lingering in fire
With the warm pulse
Of departure songs

A Winter of magic and loss
– gone
In a cold and deepening frost

A Rewind: N e w d i g i t a l s c a p e s: The Abstract Series (And Some Thoughts On Joy And Expression)

I recently published a small square, hard cover book of abstract digital art, poetry, and prose. What an exciting endeavor. The process was full of challenges, twists and turns (visually speaking), color, and contemplation. Many nights were spent with candles aflame, incense burning and music playing. In trying to find that inner connection, with all my experiences in life, I soon discovered the process that would motivate me unconditionally: Work with love. Work with intent. Art is a beautiful thing. Being in touch with the art of others is very inspiring and uplifting as well. As artists, writers, poets, and musicians we’ve come to love and appreciate the many vehicles for creative expression and community. Sharing our work is very important. Our blogs, books, exhibits, and performances are all vital in healing the soul of the planet. Our shared joys and tragedies find themselves being expressed and transformed via the beautiful and meaningful art that you and I create. Let us never forget, the significance of what we create, love and share.

we could fight
on a cold winter night
– with bitter kisses

New Landscapes: Winter – The Silent Season

New Landscapes: Winter - The Silent Season

I walk alone
– in silence
My footsteps left behind
Frozen in time

The snow painted path
Bathed – in silence
Your whispering voice
On the cold haunting wind

New Landscapes: Winter – The Film Of Life

New Landscapes: Winter - The Film Of Life

An empty theater
A foreboding glacier chill
The bitter reminder
Of a life story un-fulfilled

New Landscapes: Winter - The Never Ending Darkness

Without ever an end
This tunnel of love
Filled with the coldness of night.
