New art and #poem, Fire in the Sky : We are all but specs of dust exploding in the twilight of someone else's night sky. We are all but sweeping stars arousing hopeful wishes until we fade out and die. None with breath are eternal; mere residue left behind. Take heed, for silence draws nigh. : Words and art both by yours truly. The abstract #splatter #background is ink on watercolor paper. : For more #poetry, check out my #book, Scattered Light - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1540890023/ ________________________________ #rhyme #micropoetry #smallpoem #poetrycommunity #writer #writing #poet #writers #poems #wordporn #writingcommunity #write #spilledink #words #writerscommunity #creativewriting #poetryisnotdead #poets #quotes #iwrite #KindredPoetry #writenow #memes

New poem, Prayer of the Petrified : Even if my skin begins to petrify and my arms branch out wide; even if my legs turn to roots and anchor into the depths for grip and nourishment, I will continue to pray and give thanks. : This #micropoem was inspired by the background image. It's a place called Munkebakken Park, in #Denmark. A clever artist carved dead tree stumps into #beautiful sculptures of monks. : For more poetry, go get my book, Scattered Light. Link in profile.

New artwork and Poem, Dragon Tail : Once again, the earth shall assimilate you into herself. You shall be broken down and consumed; overwhelmed by her appetite as she restores the natural order of her vast ecosystems. Forgotten to time, you shall return from whence you came - into the dirt and sludge of her belly. Pure reincarnation, recycled as fodder for the yet living. If you have lived well, perhaps she will allow you to grow into a mighty sequoia and begin again. : Words and art credit - Me and me. The art for this #poem was done with ink on watercolor paper. : For more poetry, go get my book, Scattered Light. Link in profile. Please tag reposts.

New art and #poem, Mere Kids : Mere kids were we,  when first we met long ago;  yet to be blemished by love, naive to the impacts of change.

Young are we still, in the depths of ourselves, each time we touch. We relive those gentle moments, soft spoken promises, and whispers of tomorrow.

Mere kids were we and forever shall be. : Words and art credit - Me and me. Background is an #inkblot in #crimson and #indigo ink. : For more poetry, go get my book, Scattered Light - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1540890023/ ________________________________

New #artwork and poem, The Dark Tree : Even a dead tree can grow beneath the gaze of light.

And the crestfallen heart - so too shall it rise with the shadows of the mid-day sun.

For light can pierce the darkness of oblivion, and it shines in many forms - some are witnessed and some are lit within. : Words and art - Me and me. This is an ink #splatter piece I did, inspired by a dead tree. The poem was inspired by the growing of that tree’s shadow. _________________________________
