Scribbling Away

It’s 3 am, can’t sleep again
So I scribble away through the dark with my pen.

As Necessary As Bread

A Time To Dream

394

I love the rich earthy smell
right after a storm,
The flavor of heartaches
washed away with
the rain,
The feel of the wind
dancing around me
as I walk barefoot
in tall damp grass.
This is the time to dream,
with misty rainbows and
a pale sun in the distant sky,
And an orange glow to
light my way back home.

Painting Is Poetry

343

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
