Journal Vi - Tangled In Seclusion

JOURNAL VI – Tangled
In Seclusion

Looking through
various American Art
Reviews
I find I’m drawn to
the country rustic
scene –
A stream, or lake,
uncluttered
A thatched hut or
neat, plain farm
house (oh not
      too neat – a
place to luxuriate
in undisturbed
      comfort) 
A small boat to
determine,
waterside, the
lake’s 
      size
And, of course,
delicious greenery,
wild flowers
Some domestic beasts
perhaps -
Though the lake may
be a clear cerulean
My total scene may
be cluttered,
pinched 
      together,
A veritable super
sundae for the eye
Why this favorite
canvas?
Being city-raised
might be an answer –
though 
      mine a certain
benign type of
clutter,
That removed from
city turmoil,
By protective trees
and hills, with a
few distant
      billowing,
unthreatening clouds
In these last few I
would find a
peaceful 
      freshness
tangled in seclusion
To renew a fading
spirit
