Notes About The Poem

Living In the Material World

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

You can be my liquid lady
I will be your solid man
We can live a life of pleasure
Or at least the best we can.

Seize the day the poets tell us
Somehow that will make us whole
But the truth it lies within us
There reveals our sacred soul.
