Art….by MSRP of
From out of the dark
Emerges a spark
Into a space
Leaving a trace
Colors a drifting
Making a living
Splatters give meaning
Blended from your living
One stroke leads a stream
Hand and art a team
Canvas that has a story
It is such glory
The tale a picture can tell
When the artist comes out of their shell.

Maybe you could do this, or that
Perhaps you will or won’t
Advice comes easy for the giver
But seldom heeded by the one to whom it is given
Things can make you crazy
We all have good days and bad
Consider it all and learn something
Maybe you will benefit
Perhaps you won’t
Sit on your epiphanies an get lost
The test is simple
The answers are multiple choice
Don’t let yourself be without a voice.
Maybe a circumstance will be in your favor
Or sometimes it will not.
You might have seconds, minutes, and hours
To re-arrange things
Sort through your liffe
Or if you’re unfortunate, you will not.
It is better to seize opportunity
Then to fall flat on your face with uncertainty.
Maybe, just maybe
The next decision will be easier, or harder,
But at least there will always be the “maybe”.

Heart Moon…
There’s a moon in my heart.
It only comes out in times of darkness.
You’ll never hear it remark
For it has no words.
Shining yet a shadow over feelings and thoughts.
The purpose of it is quite simple
It is to give a new definition
Give a different perspective.
Like all moons, it can be seen, not taken
And felt by only its maker.
Without it, my heart would have stayed black.
You could say without it I’d never had made it back…
I’m grateful for my heart moon.
Evidence of change..

The river is a flat, shining chain.
LiPo
The moon, rising, is a white eye to the hills;
After it has risen, it is the bright heart of the sea.
Because I love it—so—round as a fan,
I hum songs until the dawn.
–Li Po (701–762)
