Bells
Timbres in Many Splendored Tones
Underneath the sprawling branches of an old oak, a schoolyard hums,
Bells announce the passing hours, a melodic guide for eager minds
dancing between the lines of learning, their...

Once upon my timeOnce upon a December we were friends.
Once upon a cold night holding onto a time we knew someday would end.
A whole new world we’ll never see.
You're stuck drowning under the sea, after letting go...

Taking time to unwind hoping for the best.
Swimming in the ocean feeling the cool breeze.
Giving back to myself finally at ease.
Laying in the flowers loving the...

The Voyageby Maxwell Sebastian Burchett
Set sail on an ocean,
An unknown sea,
At times adrift, unknown destination,
No compass or charts to see.
No return to original harbor
I must sail on,
Perilous to halt, cannot anchor
In this ship not chosen.
Yet I...

As a caterpillar in heart so blue,
Growing up in the land of confusion,
And the mentality of seclusion.
Watching at butterflies come and go,
Desirably...

Neglect“A wound gets worse when it’s treated with neglect.” – Stevie Nicks

The All of ThanksgivingBrightness and burden
Is the portrait of
Many we meet..
She's carrying a book
For the little library
A token of giving..

Worries of what seems
Shading her life..
Her bright greeting
Registers as the All
Of Thanksgiving......

The Journey-SHM
The JOURNEY began a long time ago,
traversed meandering lone LIFE pathway
across the terrain of the ROUGH plateau,
despite distractions I didn’t ever stray.
The sun shines bright in seamless cobalt sky,
colored canvas of contoured vale in sight,...

In the Shadow of the Sacred("Winter's Edge", 2018, original encaustic)
In The Shadow of the Sacred
This game
Of life
Played
With full abandon
With all our doubts
And confusions
Hopes and fears
As we soldier on
Suffer and grow
Gradually or suddenly
Expanding the crack
In the cosmic egg
The...

the long gameWe’re playing the long game.
We share things, we’re lovers,
we slip in and out of each other’s lives
like jackets hanging on the back of a door.
Relationships are like instruments,
they must be played, kept in tune,
the carnal...
