Soul Sanctuary

Soul Sanctuary Wandering through a moveable museum of memories columnar Dusting off exhibits of moments held fast in watercolors gossamer Milestones chiseled into fleeting moments of atonement, Soft edges of first love painted in golden moments – Brushing aside gauzy cobwebs on photo negatives confessions Blushing with pastel transparency of opaque blended impressions Images emerge into negative space awash with nude opinions Perspective layered into hard edges from edgy palette dominions; Meandering through silent salons shaded dusky murals in shadows of rose Lending sienna tints and hues to luminosity’s prisms in afterglow; A sacred place vibrating in clear cerulean hues – Holy space of signed wax relics - a chancel of still life in blooms; Drifting through galleries of jigsaw puzzled passages Fantasies spattered in bold black and white sketched with color assuage; Visions staring back unblinking at lost victories buried in the abstract Untouched prints, tattooed in rust, restored –restoration intact; Still furnishing this sacred place With an ever expanding collection displayed Fragments of umber magic captured – deckled grief fading – Portraits of choice set in unforgettable, studies of raw strangled cries invading; Browsing hand in hand with free form time - Lost in mazes of archival, acid free, displays in fine lines; Within twisted illustrations featureless faces hidden - Born out of the gasping barren abyss of flat washes in rhythm; Framed in this breathing womb tiny points of pigment wait Nurtured! Protected! Nourished! Building up a portrait; Unfinished infinite design revealing watermarks Cherished by the eternal conservancy in soaring arcs; And in the brush strokes of this secret sanctuary place Abides the master plan of the divine intimate grace.
