Art – Rivers Renewed

The Writer’s Winter

Like many other writers, he refused to see winter as an old grey barn,

or a frozen field abandoned,

and in his walks he really did get infused,

his spirit was lifted.

And he used his wings

to write it all down.

Tree in the Twilight

Tree in the twilight brings peace to my soul,

as night begins her embrace

a tangible deliverance,

from the worries of the day,

darkness comforting.

I’m able to see more clearly now,

the breath of the mountains,

and stillness returning.

In the Mist of the Waterfall

20200531_132117 In the mist of the waterfall, in the rush

of water cooled air,

a voice spoke softly, melting

my scars, breaking

the stones yet remaining,

within my heart

creating a new wing……

and then I lifted

into the clouds

once again.

Art Blending

20190507_122047

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the series, The Colors of the Night Sky!

This was an exciting, pushing back the boundaries time for me. It was something new, and I purposely blended different types of writing.

Did you know you can blend different genres? I think science fiction, fantasy, and romance, work well together.

I also blended some poetry with prose, especially in the first piece.

Colors infused was something I enjoyed trying also. Don’t you just love purple?

Now I have a decision to make. I’ve ended the series here, but there is so much missing……

due to squeezing in the story into the wordpress format. I need to go further with this story, stretching my wings, developing and filling in the rest of the story.

Fiction is not most popular type of post, and I think the least favorite with readers.

That showed up big time in my blog this past week but I expected it.

So….I will cut back a little here while I think about it.

I love writing so thank you for reading!

Where Light Lives

20170915_165528

Our hearts opening in the sunlight,

sacred doors,

gateways of the inner world,

unseen

where light lives,

where our spirits run free

and colors shape shift

our creativity.

Afternoon Tea

We were at the gallery, during afternoon tea,

she sat across from me when I got lost in her eyes….

oceans never ending.

She was the sun radiant

as she smiled,

and whispered, “I love you!”

Yep, I was lost, for sure….

she always amazes me so…..

The Sky Received the Glory

In the beginning blue was made, some say it has always been,

and the sky received the glory, with the ocean becoming an even deeper blue…….

until there was green……enriching all of the earth.

The Intensity

With the intensity of orchids, our spirits are made alive again,

and memories

awaken us,

even to the music

and art

of the soul.

My most important goal for this coming year in the blogosphere, is to continue being a good blogging friend. I will only leave encouraging, kind comments. I have received many of these types of comments myself, and doing so for others simply makes good sense.

I will write of hope and healing, in the framework of nature, spirituality, and faith. A sense of peace is where I seek to dwell.

There is so much negativity in our world, I want my blog to be a javelin, thrown into the heart of darkness.

I will write of love. We all love love, don’t we? But I will not write work that is too risqué! I seek to honor God and my beautiful wife. Entangled arms and kisses on her neck, are about as far as my writing will take me.

And yes I do write a lot, simply from a love of writing. But I strive to make my posts of a high quality (to the best of my ability).

I will always place my faith, family, and even work above my blog.

Thank you for being here!!! Are you ready for 2018?

Let’s rock!

Searching for Beauty Within

20171001_150039

Through my pen, or my computer, my spirit seeks – shaping some words

searching for beauty within,

bringing a little peace

or a sense of quiet

to the chaos

of our world.

Perhaps art will heal

some of our wounds.
