Wandering
Quiet all around mein certain circumstances color intrudes
washed out reds,brilliant blues,
striking yellow and pale orange
But I am in a pool here and function moves about me, I do not move
My fingers are not pressing keys
they are part of the shell shell, pretending to be me
but here
is me
so deep and lost inside, a fishhook couldn't find me.
My stunning boys in all their activity,
where are they now?
school
band
cars
grandma's
And my mind won't still.
Maybe I need a meditation class.
Quiet all around me, never inside.

good advice on my painting. I have decided to shelve it until the inspiration comes back...now I am just overthinking it! thanks!
Meditation class sounds like a can't-lose situation! Could be the key to a lot of things...
Love the colors in the picture!
The graphic is very enticing. Is that a collage? I am looking into collages at the moment in hopes of future muse come springtime.
I suspect quiet on the inside will come -- through practice, patience ,and hope.
The best of the day to ya!
another lovely poem... you use the medium so well too... the fading colors... reinforces the content...
and that last line... sublime...
Millie, you are welcome, your work is intrigueing,
Firebird, thanks!
goatman, it is a collage and a negative image. Green chilies roasting and peeled. Strange results.
Thanks for the confidence sometimes I think the quiet will never come, I have to practice harder.
Hopper, thanks, I appreciate how you always stick with me and support my lines.
I had to come back for another looky at your collage, after expanding it and perusing I can see how detailed and interesting it is. Very nice.
I do a bit of meditation and find that the thoughts always streaming through my mind are less distracting if I kind of observe them from above, flowing by and do not react to them. It's a process of not trying. Pretty soon the thoughts go by as they will but you are at peace. Takes awhile though and I am still not totally able to get into the "groove" all of the time.
