To Live and Breathe  Creating

…for some time 
again
to rapidly wing
into joy
creating
with words as heartbeats 
and lines 
    each sketched for breath
as these pens with their inks 
draw in a song of solace
from creating
with its humbling thrill
given stroke by stroke
to designs discovering
thought arias
poetic murals
    lit in symphonic chiaroscuro
for embroidered souls 
flying the stunning winds
into Beauty…

Sally, I'm humbled when I see an artist create such beauty. You have a fabulous gift, and it is an honor to be able to see it and enjoy it. Frankly, I see myself as more of a philosophical hack! I try, but I have no idea how you create the things you do. It's something of a mystery to me, but I certainly can appreciate what you do.

Very lovely poetry, Sally; we are born to love, to create. The ills of the world are for a lack of creation. When we are not co-creators with God...we are independent destroyers. Blessings my friend. I hope you are feeling better. Excellent poetry! Oh, love the expression in the eye of your darling winged friend. Well done! Where did he go? Did he fly away? Back again. Right on!

Joe, my great thanks! Wanted to say, you could add to your personal list of quotes, “The ills of this world are due to the lack of (our) creation…”. Great wisdom, Joe!
