Welcome to my monthly Artblog which features tips and observations about the painting process and art in general, photographs as well as poetry. The blog is dedicated to my teachers and mentors. Their expertise, encouragement, trust and honest critique have guided me, and continue to inspire me through the meanders of the painting process.

Beyond The Summer Wind

Cinque Terre

Beyond The Summer Wind

High above the wheat the summer wind
Carries a scent of hay and honey
Meadows of jewels soften the sky
Let me linger here in comfort
The glow of a wondrous gaze
As summer ripens with ease
Seductive against mango dusk
I don’t want to go north just yet
On the journey ahead

Let me touch the pale ferns instead
And smell the mushrooms
In the early morning forest
Listen to the mellow space
Between woodruff and blueberries
Like harps in the summer wind
Butterflies and bees multiply
Let me linger here a while

I don’t want to go just yet
On the long journey north
Beyond the summer wind
Where the wheat fields end
There is but silence ever so bleak
Ever so endless white nothingness
On the long journey ahead
