(“Winter’s Edge”, 2018, original encaustic) Elsewhere The grey of mid November settles in And my thoughts turn to elsewhere Nights of dreams, mornings of long novels, Afternoons painting and a wistful wish to travel But as sabers rattle in Europe And once again the world awaits war The last place I want to be is stuck Far away from home And so I’ll just read and write, Paint and walk with dogs Letting the cold and grey wash over me Not so much with pleasure, nor depression But at least a hint Of acceptance (11/17/24)
