Lazy Afternoon
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
what can be better than a good lazy afternoon
reclining, relaxing, revitalizing
recalling, remembering, reminiscing
recovered, rested, restored, revived
renewed from au naturel afternoon

Company
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
everyone knows two is company
you can spend a day in harmony
talk or silence won’t matter at all
just having you there as close as can be
is the perfect way to share your company

Tyger Tyger
watercolour on paper
14×16
Tyger, tyger wrote a poet
in the shadows, thought he saw it
if it drew near you’d never know it
barely hear the grass around it
Tyger, tiger fearful creature
we cringe in fear at your raw nature
barely moving silent mover
glorious masterpiece of nature
Tyger, tiger do you ever
know how much fear in us you render
calm and patient stand you there
panicked, scared, we favour prayer.

flitter flutter little butter
fly from flower to flower
what purpose? what care?
sip all the nectar that you dare
flutter by on wings of blue
or any other rainbow hue
i gasp in pleasure watch you flitter
you care for naught but where
to find another pretty flower

Winter of Despair (watercolor on paper, 12″x18″)
Winter of Despair (I)
Crouching in the shadows
Doubting, desperate, and despondent
Even the sunlight is drab
Winter of Despair (II)
in silent shadow grey and deep
away from sunlight, there i sit
i crouch as small as i can get
for countless days i have not slept
in my small corner, dark, unlit
i silently weep myself to sleep
my head is heavy, my heart, as well
my body feels like it’s been dragged through hell
and nothing remains in this empty shell
one winter i felt despair
and though i am loath to, i still find myself there

The body moves
but the soul dances
The voice may be heard
but the heart sings out
The mind invents
but the spirit creates
All art emanates from their creators
All creators live through their art
