Notes About The Poem

Adventures with Anima

(“Something from Nothing”, 2024, original encaustic)

Anima comes and goes
Ever youthful sprite
Of singular beauty
In ever changing form

Like a year of turning seasons
A day of shifting light  
A being aging in a lifetime
Sometimes she seems to leave me

And sometimes lead me on
Then comes to pull me in
With a kiss that simply says
We have never been apart

Anima knows me
Better than I know her
Like a mirror
Endlessly reflecting light
