i can feel things spinning with every dream you said to me | just like runaway moments


Image

i can visualize this with vivid emotion as i place my life in your words | just like runaway moments


Image

like runaway memories | it’s a horizon fading fast


Image

like runaway memories | it’s a linear perspective


like runaway memories | the square root equals exclusion


when we walk together we never feel alone

The waves break along the distant shore, and with them come our dreams. Because … there is no one like you.

what a beautiful light we have found


If There Is A Light You Are Looking For … You Will Find It Outside Your Window

As I followed the light, the journey was not long, as I soon found what I was looking for …


The Drive Home After Seeing You For The First Time

The drive home after seeing you for the first time; lingers like the sweet dark night…

in a moment
just like this
your kiss …

– my angel

I had to include this song from Trespassers Williams. They are one of my favorite Dream Pop bands. While working on the image for this post, I downloaded their latest and last album entitled “Cast” (2012). A 2 cd set of past hits and new songs. Wonderfully crafted. Emotional as always, Trespassers Williams takes us again, to that place of love and longing. This track stood out for me and was a strong influence to the creative process for the piece. I highly recommend you listen to the song while drifting along the highway of your own dreams and memories.


When You Left … Even The North Star Could Not Guide Me Home

Found A New Way To See Her Right Here At Home

found a new view right here at home final


With Friends

Life in memory …
with friends
a cycle of instances
– Reggie
that touch the past
like fine strands of silk
– Bob
nothing is forgotten
alive in delicate remains
– Robert
moments really did happen
here with you
– Judy
in this life of memories
your bodies gone
– Frankie
found again in thought
visited through Spirit and Light
– Zina
your lives
my memories
together …
Friends Forever

There is a beauty in the inter-connectedness of life and experience. We remember friends who have passed away. Their spirit, their laughter, the things they shared with us … as if it was only yesterday.


The Night Outside My Window

Lightly textured dreams
intoxicating the night
alive … in stillness

You Thought You Knew Where To Begin When Leaving


Holding You

Your soft breathing
and beating heart
caresses my sadness
and brings peace to my longing

– There is a moment when the reality of life, in all its complexity, is simplified by one gesture … holding you.

If That Place Comes Again

Someday I Won’t Be Here


The Sunrise From Inside (A New Inner Vibrancy Remix)

At the start of a new day, the world inside … alive with promise.


A Lingering Sadness

The thought that you are no longer here … leaves me with a lingering sadness.


To You

it was warm with feeling
the celebration of your passing;
– fluid
with the colors of love


For You

in you

an evolving mystery
with piercing perspectives
and perplexed frailty

a continuum without end

now we are all dreaming
with the starlight in our eyes
on your final day
for you


And You

in my reflective tranquility
a subtle moment
a life and breath away


Remembering You

the beauty in you
can now only move us to tears
in the lost we deeply feel

This work and poem of remembrance is dedicated to my sister-in-law who passed away yesterday. We love you Zina … deeply.


Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | We Can’t Sleep in Complete Darkness all the Time | With Mark Rothko

If there is something to be discovered, it is here in the waking. Seeing things as they really are. Leaving the objects of reality behind. And realizing we can’t sleep in complete darkness all the time.

“I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are the performers. They have been created from the need for a group of actors who are to move dramatically without embarrassment and execute gestures without shame.” ~ Mark Rothko

This is definitely my last post of 2012 🙂
Peace and Light my friends.
