each child a seed – v2

each child a seed,
flung into the ether,
words gifted to me
gathered on the page, the screen,
scattered to the winds…
 
musings, scribbles,
inspiration, perspiration,
made ready, scattered,
longing to find fertile soil,
to be gleaned, gathered in…

“This is so beautiful; I shared it to my page as well.
This is so real, which is what all art must be, real,
authentic, from the heart, for another's heart,
one we do not know, but one who needs to see,
to hear, to feel, to touch art in their spirit, in their soul...”

Words call me – v2

Words call me, urgent,
I am their servant,
I turn toward them,
leaning into the message,
their cry to my spirit,
to my hands beginning to write…
 
Words speak to me
they are my muse,
words call me, now,
when I am not ready,
when I pay attention,
driving, walking about…
 
Words call me, suddenly,
they woo, they challenge me,
they cry out in despair,
sometimes they shout for joy,
urgent, passionate, emotive words,
words of power, of light…
 
Words will not wait,
I must stop, I must write,
I must remember, to save them,
for the words can be fleeting,
gossamer pulled from the ether,
to be capture, to be written down…

A gift to another’s heart – v2

Our creations, art in its own sense,
All our artistic endeavors, our spirits,
all that we pour into our works,
a life force, awakening, rising,
offered, sent out into the world…
 
A gift from our heart, our spirits,
a kernel of life, of creation itself,
sent to land on an unknown shore,
a gift from one heart to another,
to heal, to give hope, to restore…
 
All that we pour out, an offering,
a piece of infinite space, of life,
treasure planted into the ether,
in time finding their true home,
on some distant shore…

One heart speaking – v2

One heart speaking,
one spirit sharing,
their gifts, their talents,
offering love, hope,
into the chaos of this world…
 
One spirit shining,
so brightly, authentic,
offering love to others,
not knowing who needs to hear,
that which they have been given…
 
One soul rising,
bringing art, creativity,
one heart committed to beauty,
offering something pure, holy,
sharing a gift with the world…
