To us!

......

you are tired

( I think )

Of the always puzzles of living and doing:

So am I

come with me then, 

and we will leave it far and far away - 

(only you and I understand)

you have played

( I think)

and broke the toys you were fondest of

and you are tired now:

tired of things that break, and - 

just tired

so am I

but I come with a dream in my eyes tonight

and knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart

Open to me

for I will show you the places nobody knows

and, if you like

the perfect places of sleep

ah, come with me

Ill blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon

that floats forever and a day

I'll sing you the jacinth song

Of the probable stars

I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream

until I find the only flower

which shall keep ( I think) in your little heart

while the moon comes out of the sea

 -  e.e. cummings

To Us!

x's and o's

Happy Birthday to you my grumpy snail

there there

there's always a siren
singing you to shipwreck.
don't reach out

don't reach out
steer away from these rocks
we'd be a walking disaster.
don't reach out

don't reach out

heckle

white flag

I surrender to a mere reflection of a sun

that will not drench itself upon me

and bleach my mind clean

I surrender to a life less expected

we cannot detach from a memory - that will never be severed

a phantom to my every limb

When we are Birdless

" flowerless in the spring, and we can not sing" ~ The Innocence Mission

Birds have become very symbolic to me. If you find a bird or a bird reference in one of my paintings, it's either part of a sequence or story, and may contain secrets and clues to them. Some may be impossible for anyone to figure out, but I know they are there.

I named these after the Innocence Mission song, though Im not quite sure what the song is about.

I do know its lonely being birdless.

I like how they use bird references a lot in their songs, I see them also as a sequence, and I can tell birds are very symbolic to them as well.

I really didnt like painting all those bars.

This is one painting I am still pleased with.

Though I wish I could have gotten a better image of it.
