Rebirth - Screen Print
The nordic run atop the skull is Berkana, which represent growth/rebirth.Screen printed by hand, the image represents my passion for artwork; something that I almost felt had passed beyond the point of re-attainment, dead per se, reborn into new life. In the same manner, I had to put to rest everything that shame and fear have ever taught me - and from that death springs to life the creativity ...
The pregnant float
When I float on existential dreadIt reminds me of a time When I’d float lighter When I was younger and at oneWith the salt When it was simpler and I was joinedWith waterMy mother drowned me in the seaAnd it was on that dayThat I fell in love For with this lack of breath came acquiesceAnd with this watery lung came A pregnancy of my own mind
Surfacing
When you were ten or so do you recall the blinding sting and hush of weary gulls?
Dark water muffled the world above and youbreathed your first mouthfulof salt.A heavy weight,you were deadas debris, dead arms, dead legs, a sun-bleached shell.Entangled, congealed, floating a mass of serpentine green, with flecks of brown and red under you went and surged up, born again hair slick, thick wi...
Oceans Rebirth
Water danced like snowflakesGraceful, steadyReady for the fallTo merge again with the earthAccepted back into the seaI couldn’t stop absorbingIts expansion of rebirthOf its changing beautyWhen the water flew to the cloudsTo come back to the groundI knew That somedayI would be An echo of its beauty
The War of Seasons
There's a tale that is told, Across the land, to the youth. Shrouded in myth, Yet, remains the truth. The Sorcerers of Spring come, When the trees are stripped bare. Granting growth with their songs, As new life fills the air. Then come The Soldiers, Sent on beams from The Sun. Their weapons, light & warmth, dancing. 'Till the rebirth is done. Autumn Assassins sneak, As The Sun starts to du...
Alone Without You
In every sunrise I see you
And here is where I must
Remain.
Time will wander a long
Infinite path
One that I stand before -
A record of existence.
Of where I wait.
Past unmoving eyes,
To stare into that emotionless
Abyss.
It is here where the white sun stands
above
Withholding warmth
From reaching my bark.
Illuminating the landscape;
Somewhat stark.
To withstand this world alone,
Hold...
Are you breaking down or are you breaking through?
Earth. Heart.Solar System. Soul System.Five fingers. Five elements. Five chakras. Good morning. Good mourning.Breakfast. Break your fast. DIEt.Funeral WAKE. Up.I ask you again, are you breaking down or are you breaking through? Maybe you're just taking a break. A break to feel. To understand. Is this the end, or is this a re-birth?Are you struggling at life, or are you awakening to a new one?Mo...
a winter sunrise
InexorablyShe lifts her golden headHope risingUnstoppably through darknessAnd the world meltsUnder her gazeSoftening warmthTo embrace the dayThe trees exhaleAn oxygen more openThan LoveAnd the world of winterLifts to the sky Free as a phoenixReborn
firewater
my mind became a still for your endless invective, vaporizing each syllable until their potency overwhelmed me so I moved them into the oak barrel of my body where they remained stored for years, taking up residence in the deep channels of my viscera until even there, they became too heavy to be contained and the trusses burst open in a flood of raging fury and unmatched beautyin that moment, a...
The Moon
I let the sun down,so the moon could shine.In the night,I shine brighter than I ever would in the day.My bittersweet loves seem inferior and pass by like distant planets. In the darkness, I do not think of the morningand the beautiful sunlight I "wasted" away.The only regret I have is that I didn't chase sunset faster.
Wild and Free
Where the mountain meets the oceanMy soul is running wild and free.Every part of my heart that was brokenIs now healed by the waters of the sea.I a...
