new painting & poem

overflowing with words and 

elated in my silence

 

with many lands left to explore

I wish to never leave my beach

 

without making any sound 

I express my devotion

 

planting my exotic garden

the roots may never reach the soil

 

In the mist of the darkest fog 

I see everything I search for clearly

 

like a traveler through the most pristine and fragile wilderness 

I walk upon this earth

 

painting my visions in iridescent gold 

while my dreams float out upon the waves 

 

sparkling until they vanish 

into the horizon of a pink and orange sky
