    Hello, poetess. Have not visited in a while and so I came to take a look see….perfect opener for a seasons work is what I would say if anyone asked….do I get to give an answer when there’s been no question?

    The Blue Moon
    lives simply, slowly beyond my gaze
    the fool within wants time to see,
    but a chaotic life
    won’t let it be.
    I grasp for a piece of a silent breeze
    while the world pulls back to show the
    roughened, bleeding knees.

    I love your “Artist” piece and just shared it with a painter friend whose on a residency in Nice, FR, to offer inspiration.

    RE your passage:
    “unaware
    and seemingly uncaring
    of what anyone might think”

    In those words you express an insightful truth about the creative process.

    At recent show, at which I won a 3rd Place(he says, modestly), was approached by an art rep who commented (among other bad advice) that I’d sell more work if I didn’t do so many pieces about death, dying, and the like. I retorted that I don’t do it for the money and I will continue to create works that are important to me and touch as many viewers as possible. That’s my purpose.

    Keep up the good work. Anthony

    This is by far the most beautiful holiday poem I have ever read. It is so moving….as I read it, I felt it, too. It lightens my heart and brings feelings of bliss. This shall be the official Christmas poem…you will write many, many more, but this one should be posted every single year. It’s truly a winner.

    This is the best reason to walk along the Oregon coast, the mist settles over my shoulders as I seek the “cleansing of wounds, the healing of hurts”
    I carry your words and find pleasure in the way they,
    do I say ‘force’,
    me to look inside.
    I wonder
    Who can write words
    this way
    unless they too, have felt
    This way

    This perfectly sums up the feeling of Christmas, just after you have survived it when missing a loved one. The hurtful silence when no one acknowledges your hurt, and you are the one constantly checking “how are you ?” So we “don’t go there” we struggle on. We wake up and we have survived!

    the image and poem really speak to the passage of time and the legacy we all hope to leave–will our existence leave an indelible mark, or fade with each passing day? Some day we will all have “had a life”-and the reminders of that inevitability are foreshadowed all around us. Thanks for the poem (and the reminder).
