From Love Is An Orchid
Circles
I stand here With my eyes closed Bearing up Under The heat The wind The hail The torrent
I felt alone once
Now I stand here With my eyes closed Bearing up Under The heat The wind The hail The torrent
But I am not alone
There are circles around me Loved ones That surround me Forming tight circles That get bigger and bigger Until I cannot count the rings
They are weak just like me But linked together by a shared love Standing solidly, even happily
We continually form our circles and look upward For the power that we lack To bear up Under The heat The wind The hail The torrent

From Deep Within Creative Minds
Dare the Wind
I gave her paint and lent her my brushes She took them and began the arduous journey To worlds unknown to her by location But so often visited in fanciful dreams
She set her face to the canvas Strapped on the belt filled with brushes Poured rich, exotic melodies into her ears And stepped into that other world
She felt the scorching afternoon suns The piercing night chills Tasted the sands, salts and seas Defying the other world she came from That wanted to crash in on this brilliant hallucination
She set her face to the canvas She fought the marauder bands of apathy Who charged at her with deeply colored scarves Riding swiftly on boldly ornamented camels She defended her world – painted it – securing it permanently
She set her face to the canvas Braved the harsh winds that stormed just outside that world Until they died away, giving in to her defiance She banished the creative apathy that blew at her Fighting back with acrylic and artistic passion
It bows to her Now the light breeze that plays with her hair
She dared the wind And won
For Anna, my painter friend
