I Knock on the Sky

I knock on the sky

The sound is crystal glass

It is gossamer thin with a high-pitched ring.

It shatters into zillion shards

And falling transforms into water droplets.

Immersing me in the vastness inner space

Full of everything and void.

Breathe…

SKY

How lucky the leaf…

How lucky the leaf
Fallen into the tendril
Whose grip holds it tight,
Cradles it in its curls
And stops its downward flight!

Persistence

“If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence.”

Brown Thrasher

Brown Thrasher, my child,
be on your way,
a new loving parent has bought you today.
I won’t be sad that we are apart,
for you’ve found a way to touch a new heart.

Ducklings

Ducks on a Pond

 

With downy feathers, and playful delight,
Ducklings swim ‘fore they take flight.
In circles ‘round on deep blue lake,
Watch them splash and droplets make.

Ducks on a Pond

“Ducks on a Pond” by The Incredible Sting Band. The Incredible Sting Band is a psychedelic folk band that formed in Scotland back in the ’60′s. Listen to the words, “Farewell sorrow, praise God the opened door, I ain’t got no home in this world, anymore!” Scottish folk with jug band overtones. I spent the 70′s listening to them so very often.
Oil painting of cute little ducklings!

Frosty Moon and Mistletoe

“Frosty moon and mistletoe, the silent eve lies still in snow.
Across the lea, in shadows still, the sudden cry of Whippoorwill.”

Frau Katze

“Frau Katze” appeared to be humored by something in the street when my husband Ed shot this photo. She was unaware and it was so candid. I was “drawn” to paint it.
