New paintings and regular art updates.
Atoms surge
Vibrate and link
Molecules appear
Crystals, compounds
Quanta of energy
Scrambled electrons
Muons and Gluons
Barely existing.
Tiny and powerful
Forces pulling
and pushing
Making, creating
And destroying
Conservation
Of energy
Universal
What is your career plan?
My life is like an open flower
Petals may soon drop
A career I had
But it is gone
Retired and tired I am.
Work over now
Unless I have
To seek
A few hours here
A few more there
To keep going on.
I wish I could restart time
And make a change to life
Perhaps the years
I toiled at work
Would have been better spent.
My life was dull
To some extent
I played the game of life
The early morns
The evenings dark
When I came home again.
I’m glad that I escaped to art
And life began once more.
If I could spread flowers
Beneath my feet
And perfume the air
If I could make manna
From heaven, fall
If I could grow fruit
With taste and tang, sweet
Surround myself in clouds
Of lovely hue?
I’d STILL
Be fed up!
Hmph!
Eye see you looking out at me. What are you? A mishmash? A chimera….
An ape or monkey? Imagined monster, alien symbol.
Is that a volcano or a scientific flask full of acid. How were you created. Are you a figment?
Have you got whiskers or a moustache? Close set eyes stare back. A mythological owl.
Do those eyes hide a soul, will you start to howl? A dark night could hide you, are you foul or fowl?
Beautiful pink fingers
Reach for the sky
Magnificent Magnolia
Giving me joy
Seen on a warm day
In early May
Life changes quickly
Soon they will die
Then the leaves come
Shade the ground
Summer has arrived then.
Wait for spring
To come again.
What are your favorite brands and why?
Brands drive me mad!
Buy this, save money..
Buy that, it’s great!
It’s on TV,
So believe it…
Your brand heightens ‘glow’
Whatever that is?
This drink increased intelligence..
Your nose loves this..
Gamble to be happy!
You know what?
I ignore them.
If it works I buy
If it doesn’t, I don’t.
Adverts I ignore
Are they ever truthful?
90% of 5 women agree..
How?
It’s just not for me!
Clouds boil up
Heated by the sun
Moisture trapped
As water vapour
A bag of wet air?
Not quite
Cirrus and Cumulus
Acclimatise
Clouds
Climactic
Rainbows after storms
Lightning flashes
Trees thrashed
By the wind
Finally a breeze…
View into a courtyard
What was a conservatory
Glass gone
Now open to the sky…
What happened?
Age and decay
Piled up over time
Timber rotted
And fallen.
But space preserved
Repurposed
Made good
New life
In old building
What gives you direction in life?
Imagining a direction to take
Decisions made when I wake,
Thoughts my mind makes….
It’s a hard question when you get older and most of your life is behind you. I’m not very religious, so mainly I want to stay safe and keep going. No one wants bad things to happen.
I guess what direction I take could include going round in circles, always turning right, heading north. But mainly it’s just survival. Not in a preppy, survivalist sort of way, but just managing with what we’ve got, helping others when we can. Not expecting too much. Just trying to support each other. It’s not always easy, and questions have to be asked about whether the direction we are heading in now is still the right one.
The world should be fair for everyone. I know that’s a hard thing to expect, and people can be selfish and jealous of what they have. But I hope people will consider others as well as themselves. I think John Lennons song ‘Imagine’ is a good thing to follow…..
You shout out!
I jump..
I stalled
And you panicked
You minds sharp thorns
Sees danger round
Every corner….
Flight not fight
Means fright!
Stay calm
Breathe in
Breathe out
Anxious time
For both
So relax
If you can..
