Images For Android Phones: Tybee Beach 6.19.12

the sun floats
while the waves
– reflect
summer’s warmth
and beauty

caressing the day
– the sun floats
the waves flow
a sparkly trance
with wind and water

in bloom

rushing to make
a first friday night
someone’s art
– and
someone’s poem
in a distinct
world
all their own


A Spark Of Life Revealing Itself

The patterned floor of my imagination led me to the light…

Moving towards the light from places unknown

like a maze

 – it felt

when i walked

toward myself

and

into the light

across the street
their memories abandoned
the years in view
slipping away
fading to and fro
weathered by the storms
and dreams
long since gone

it was a house
not un-like
the others
decaying
dying
without a word
of remembrance

how strange a question
the film provides
a search for who we are

A Post Written With Random Thoughts

Sometimes a post is worth less than a thousand words….

A random image for random thoughts

It is a struggle sometimes to keep up with the pace of life. Better to find a moment of peace. I often think about things too much. For too long. Finding only temporary distraction when I am far too busy. Doing almost nothing of any true importance. Like discovering an insignificant place in time. Is it me, I seek to know? Or a vision of something that holds me captive? It is, perhaps (on a good day) all about waking to the dream that belongs to someone else. Feeling something. Something amiss in my own interpretation. Somewhere in the lost-not-found.

And then…

Feeling a strong sense of delight. In awe. The things inescapable. Like the beauty of a rising sun, an intrepid step, or a moon-filled night.

Then there is of course the consequence of not following the plan. Any plan. Failing to listen to destiny. My destiny.

And now…

It feels like I’ve just begun to say something….

The City Series: First Published Book

The City Series: First Published Book

I just received the first copy of my self-published book: n e w d i g i t a l s c a p e s – art for posts: the city series. It is a 20 page volume of art, prose and poetry. The print quality is very good. And I am pleased with the final product.


The Waking Dream That Brings Such Beautiful Light

Sometimes it only takes a moment to feel a dream has something to say….

The waking dream in the morning light

a soft moment …

of transition

– sleeping in slumber

– waking in peace

an ethereal awareness

here

now

– in the present moment

centered

in an intuitive way

 – to life

 – to meaning

a very dreaming day …


The Dream Struggling To Complete Itself (A Waking Dream Remix)

Sometimes a dream no longer has words to say….

The darkest of dreams shed some light

It only takes a moment

– to know

a dream has nothing more to say….


When A Waking Dream Can No Longer Speak In Words

The moment I awoke I knew the dream would end in silence…

Sometimes in the waking a dream can no longer speak

the dream awoke …

with a stutter and a stir

it tried to find

in my mind

words to complete

a story unfolding

– boldly

in slumber

in death

a sleep with an end

and a dream

– with words

unable to speak …

 – a dream struggling to complete itself

Images For Android Phones: The Dark Outside My Window

Images For Android Phones: The Dark Outside My Window

the film ends
no longer a starring role
outside my window
the darkness
is collecting its toll

are you there
feeling it’s unfair
– our lost
you have to bare

sitting there
– with empty seats
and
ending dreams

no starring role

here
just the things
we sometimes fear…

in awe

i stand below
my bike and I

Images For Android Phones: A Painting In A Gallery

Images For Android Phones: A Painting In A Gallery

A painting
In more than one color
Where everything comes to life

A touch of red
A splash of blue
A hidden purpose
So true

A museum full of beautiful light
The sounds of our chatter
Throughout the day and night

In awe
In silence

It’s what the artist thought that matters
Escaping something here
Finding something there
… and
Renewing all with his mind
An abstraction so fine

It’s beautiful you know
What he has found
With the palette knive
Pressed in silent sound

Shaping
Forming
… and
Teleporting
This gallery space
To another far-off place

It’s art when you see it
Art when you feel it
Art when you know it
And art when you love it

A painting
Of light and shadow

A painting
In more than one color                                                                                                                                                                                             Where everything comes to life

A touch of red
A splash of blue
A revealing purpose
So true

Images For Android Phones: A Window In A Dark Room

Images For Android Phones: A Window In A Dark Room

Painting in one color
A black as dark as coal
So dark it feels endless

It’s time to pick another color
Or look out a different window
Catch a thought or two

See things in another light
As the room collapses
Like falling cards

Entangled with the other’s calling
Like the dream that’s always falling

The blue sky outside
And my blurry eyes … blinking
Can’t save me from inside
The dark room in which I reside.

Post Canvas And Paint: Images For Android Phones 7

looking over the horizon
along the railroad tracks
i wonder where
… in silence
this train will take me
it’s lonely here
… in isolation
not unlike
a place
i used to know


I Keep Standing On The Corner Waiting On My Own (A Robyn Remix)

The city series….

On the corner, on my own

some things feels like destiny…

some things never change

standing on the corner

waiting on my own

never knowing which direction

I should go

it’s all for show

you know

waiting on the corner

with nowhere to go….
