Lately I've been writing haikus to help concentrate and synthesize my ideas for my art. I'm finding it particularly rewarding. They may not be poetic gems, but they are thought gems. Here's the latest:
(the first painting)
You and I alike
Together we understand
what it means to be
(second painting)
My pain and control
flows from those writhing red veins
polished stone breaks down
You see me and I
I didn't see you and they
but now I see we
Clarity and strength
emboldened now as I see
forward now we stand
You may be lost and
I may be lost too, true
But at least I am
Blue and white and brown
veins of strain crack everywhere
but shined to reflect
Silent pedestal
You do what I can't and won't
love freely given
Who knows how many of these I'll use, or if I'll use any.
