A street from iceworlds
Shimmering
Like an Autumnal summer
Drizzling
A powdery world of
Melting light

First Light

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Light of Creation
~

Remember when Light meant the innocence of purity
Remember when Beauty was simply being
Remember when Creation was like a universal spirit
Breathing stillness on discordant darkness
Remember when Creation was
The First Light

The Cat of Midnight

Dmitry Guskov (Moscow, Russia then Scotland in 2000) ~ Black Cat in a Dark Room
~

In the eyes of midnight
Tremble the fears of darkness
Like mist encrusted laneways
Where the voice of lone feet walking
Laughs
Nervously

Dreamcolours

Leonid Afremov - born in the city of Vitebsk, Belarus in 1955 - the same town where Marc Chagall was born. (Belarus became independent of Russia in 1991.) This is an oil painting created with a painting knife and called Dream.

Raining colours of light
Goring the wells of night
Flooding the fears
Lubricating vibrant pools of happiness

Once upon a butterfly...

Angel Villanueva (Mexico) ~ 1492 (2008) ~ Oil on canvas

Cocooned heartbeat
Fragile wings
Visionary sails
Transitory eternity

African Grace

From a sea of syncopated petals
Explodes a need to be
Precious
Energy
Etching
A new dance for
New Graces

Midnight Butterfly

Slow and silken
Midnight bronzed golds
Honeyed senses
Ooze into
Delicious
Butterfly
Flight

Adventurers

Andy Simmons ~ United Kingdom ~ 2007 ~ Adventurers

Where the seas warp

And the clouds heave

And the sails wretch the winds

My soul sings ancient songs

Songs I've never heard

Shards

Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) - "Cloister Cemetery in the Snow" - Destroyed in 1945 in Berlin

Trees aching for sleep
Filtering white silence
Small pilgrims
Remembering
