Transition
Transition
Long my art, Asemic writing
Feels fulfilled.
A profound experience yet
Esoteric even to myself.
Sit, write abstractions
Countless hours
Sums it up simply.
Yet what was I saying?
Elegant in form, free from
Many clïchés often seen in art.
Where might this take me?
Editor off, explore.
Worlds of exquisite beauty
Seen in works of others;
Inspired challenges to limits.
Exploring near-endless possibilities.
Hundreds of pieces.
Write, make art.
Obsessed, a joyous enchantment.
Up early, up late, work.
Then, a wall; my work re-, re-, repetitive,
No longer moving me.
Beautiful, abstracts, yes, but
Eluding meaning.
The voice waits.
Waits to be heard distinctly.
No regrets for a minute for
Freely scribbling worlds.
Freeing, an epiphany,
The now mute lines and colors
Move from vague
To clear.
Timidly into the palm of writing,
To speak in my voice
That it might be lucid, transparent;
And I have said what I have said.
