That lives in the hearts of those,
Who still see value in keeping strong communities
Where good deeds are never spoken of,

kitsch
              crowded
              streets
fast
flowing
         feathers
              
pointed
feet
         jagged

              distinctive

          yet    unique
something 
so inexpressible
a chord 
so vivid from an uncontrolled 
inner drive
beyond  memory
the unstated 
 distilling the hidden 
an essence 
of  yesterday’s
 buried in today
a symbol
 of
  love 
suggestive
yet
of time
immemorial

lost in
a moment

astonishing
pastiche
  before
&
despite
either
in
   an
austere
 feeling
of
fine
beauty

what is seen..unique

whatever is meant..

Spontaneity drips
involuntary &yet deliberate
Joyous expression
of inhibitions,inner experience
 made free to be.
Painter & creative force
 united as one living moment
 its residue,to remain
 in epigraph.
This inner Harmony
 an abstract message
its meaning lost ‘til
unconsciously heard unfettered
beyond its boundaries
Inward vitality
the stress of inner need
to outer impulse
scattered
upon canvas shrinks
transitory & isolated
in the unconscious
  its meaning springs
 from the soul
 by an inner need
outwards & upwards
a composition
complex in flavour
impressions improvised

when
two people
who speak
the same language
spend an eternity
cross-talking
at one another
about one another
over one another
to have the last word,
it's as if
both parties are speaking
two different languages;
much is...

*** NOMAD ***
(For Ian and Bryan)

The gifts just out of reach…Always?
Scoping the search?  
With the contentments 
Of peace to be found, 	
Buried like treasure…And
Hunted?

Beloved...
