Acrylics on paper on canvas. This is another of my stay at home projects recycling some of my paintings of past efforts. It’s a meditative process where peace of mind flows easily.

Great Pyramids
Evocative Scents
phlox blossoms
and watermelon
open to whisper
their presence
with evocative
cool sweetness
scents
so like the
subtle scent
that whispers
through woods
and fields
foretelling
Fall’s first snow
the mind begins
to wonder
but the senses
already know
the mind begins
to wonder
will we let
our greed
consume us
as we breathe
polluted air
when does need
transform to greed
when is
so much more
enough
what fragrance
will we gift
our future Earth
to wear
phlox blossoms
and watermelon
faintly whisper
when is
so much more
Enough

Space Exploitations
(Universe One- my digital music composition)
Space Exploitations…
You, who have gone before,
jumping Space and Time to explore,
we also wish to come out and play,
expanding Life in our own way.
We`ll bring flowers to inhospitable Mars,
that fearsome god of ancient wars
whose offspring taught us very well
how War is ever living hell.
We’ll bring laughter to the Moons,
as we play our lively tunes,
mining orbs for all they’re worth
to enrich the richest of our Earth.
We’ll bring enslaving old beliefs
dressed up in words of love and peace.
We’ll guarantee our Human crews
pay their taxes and their dues.
You, among the stars, we so yearn
to understand and quickly learn
how you do this- in your own way.
Please- let us too- come out to play!

Fingerprints
( Multi-verse Grand Universe- my digital music composition)
Fingerprints
The Multi-verse grows Itself,
united and diverse, united and diverse,
as our tiny planet spins
within our tiny Universe.
Biological Intelligence–
Intelligent Life on Planet Earth–
expresses higher values
as the wealth of Human worth.
A language made of patterns,
Life gifts each Human birth,
stamping each divine creation
with a clear and holy message
placed on every Human finger–
‘This is My creation,
every daughter, every son,
each unique and precious.’
How Life values every one!!!
The Multi-verse grows Itself,
united and diverse, united and diverse,
as our tiny planet spins
within our tiny Universe.

The Country Cottage
Fragile Thread (my digital music composition)
The Country Cottage
What is this magic that inspires and charms?
The smell of herbs and spices float in air
around painted fruit and florals here and there.
Quiet and calm, the busy pace slowed down,
we are invited to just simply ‘Be’.
No clocks-Time is measured by songbirds now.
What is the charm of a Country Cottage
if not the gathered flowers and plants inside
where Nature and Harmony abide
amidst furnishings creating a Home.
Light and shadows, changing colours entertain.
What is the charm of a Country Cottage
if not the flowers, grasses, vines, and trees
that enchant with Beauty’s power to please
the Soul and Senses awakened to Life.
Gone is the world of greed and endless strife,
beliefs that kill, and all-consuming ‘need’.
This life in a Country Cottage is rich indeed…
Earth in the Heavens… and Heaven on Earth.

Smells of the Seasons
(Joy- my digital music composition)
Smells of the Seasons
(Spring)
smells of fresh Spring air
cucumbers and clean water
-memories of Earth…
(Summer)
wet woodland trail
smells of heated soil and moss
-look! the mushrooms there!
(Autumn)
Winter is coming!
watermelon smell in air
-hurry! let’s rush home!
(Winter)
now the snow smells burnt
wood and oil and gas exhaust
-snowflakes change their shape!

Seasons
(Summer)
sunny Summer heat
sleepy yawns float in still air
-honey bees pause to rest…
(Autumn)
Fall’s burst of raindrops
with tears stream down my face
-wind whispers farewell…
(Winter)
closing the curtains
at day’s end- snowstorm now weaves
Winter’s white death-shroud…
(Spring)
soft breeze stirs Spring air
-laughter greets new leaves reborn
to dance on boughs again…

Flights
(Awe and Wonder- my digital music composition)
Flights
Observing Flights
air filled with insects
swift swallows never collide
-small planes fly over
Flight Exhaustion
eyes search through windows
swallows circle- rise and dive
exhausted eyes close
Still Flight
frail body sits still
mind jumps on a swallow’s back
heart laughs- swift pure joy

Legacy
(My Time Your Time- my digital music composition)
Legacy
Gone the measured moments,
the gamut of human emotions,
causes and devotions,
exploration of human senses,
challenges of health defences.
Gone bank accounts and begging bowls,
majestic mansions and cardboard homes,
secret armies of watchers and spies,
freedoms won and lost in truths and lies.
Gone the myriad dreams and schemes,
intellect’s elitist walls and towers,
pride of nations, might of powers,
sumptuous feasts, famine and pain,
population controls, genocide tolls,
robotic lives of profit and gain.
In an instant, it’s all gone.
Acquisitions and achievements,
actions sparked by love or fears,
technologies prolonging years,
nothing matters in an instant.
Richest of rich, poorest of poor,
we must leave behind our flesh and bones,
leave behind what we hold dear.
What shall be said of our measured moments
when all we love or hate shall disappear?
What shall be said of the power and wealth
of so few amidst the millions of starving too?
Time turns all treasures to relics and dust.
Our selfish ambitions and goals at any cost
fade into fictions and twisted histories unclear,
laws and values changed, languages lost.
Ah, but our Life itself never dies.
Of Earth, or beyond, Life never dies.
The Energy of Life is pure Love and Light,
the essence of all to inner sight.
Life’s Spirit will choose yet another disguise.
Awareness shifts from our Higher State.
Reborn new beginnings, the infant cries.
Forms transformed by Nature or engineered,
we inherit the World which we co-create,
re-birthed to that Legacy some call Fate.

I Am
(Awe and Wonder- my digital music composition)
I Am
I am the call of the wild bird,
the feel of the breeze on your skin,
the color of loving laughter,
the strength of your spirit within.
I am the soil caressing your feet,
the beckoning stars of the night,
the taste of tears with tea,
the sight of dawn’s first light.
I am the sweet kiss of comfort,
the smell of the flowers you grew,
the essence of every vast atom,
the answer you simply knew.

Remembrance Day
(Our Remembrance Day- my digital music composition)
Remembrance Day
Let us remember
all who’ve died in war,
anytime, anywhere…
all who’ve suffered in war,
anytime, anywhere…
We have forgotten something…
Let us remember
those who’ve paid ‘the price’,
that hell-forged coin
of victory and loss,
two-sided and yet still one…
We have forgotten something…
Let us remember
why we fought for rights,
why we fought for freedoms,
or why we fought for others’ glory,
for the glory of their wealth and power…
We have forgotten something…
Let us remember
why we fought for love or fear,
the sacrifice of those held dear,
how violent death meant ‘problem solved’,
and acceptance meant ‘uninvolved’…
We have forgotten something…
Let us remember
what we are forgetting still,
our primitive species of ‘fight and kill’
can evolve to see itself as one,
the Life of our life, though many, as one.
We choose to empower fear or love,
destroying ourselves or rising above
differences, finding values that unite,
enriching all with wise insight…
A world of love or world of fear…
a collective choice
empowered by your choice and mine…
harmonious unity or hostile division,
goodwill action or hateful derision
fuelling feuds that rage through time…
The history of our past is clear,
a shout, a scream, a silent tear…
What fate shall we now create
from our collective mental state?
Shall we repeat, repeat what came before,
dysfunctional patterns and beliefs, or,
open our hearts and minds to better ways
to lighten our lives and brighten our days?
Let us remember ever and always,
‘We are all one.’

The Whirlpool
(Peace Project- my digital music composition)
The Whirlpool of Hatred-Violence-Revenge
—hatred—violence—revenge—hatred—violence—
—revenge—hatred—violence—revenge—hatred—
—violence—revenge—hatred—violence—revenge—
Beware the Whirlpool in the Stream of Life!
Watch as it swirls in contention and strife!
Caught in the eddy, so many backward turn!
To destruction they go as the waters churn!
Discordant Religions
speak ‘love’ then ‘kill’,
beliefs that do harm,
claiming ‘God’s will’.
Wealth of deadly weapons,
untold powers of so few…
mass murders justified,
World crises ‘on cue’…
Paranoia, lies, and Techno-spying
proliferates Global insanity.
Only LOVE will say, “ENOUGH!!!
What is THIS? Humanity!”
“Rise from your slavery
to a deity with such needs,
and all that which empowers
Fear for gains and for greed.”
“Let go of Yesterday’s gods
of vengeance, violence, and hate.
BE the Love that UPLIFTS!
BE the Hope of your Fate.”
The Universe listens.
The Heavens await.
Make THAT shift to rebirth
for a World we ALL co-create.
