The Extraordinary Lightness of Being.

Poem Artwork

            The Presence

 

She felt the wind 

   take them all —

Every charge life gave her

   and those she gave herself 

   to nurse like patients

   like children, like lovers —

And to fear as nightmares,

   as undoings.

 

In the newness she lingers

   feeling the sweeping absence  —

A vast and fresh presence.

There is so much windswept energy here…
Sweeping away the old to reveal new presence…
The beautiful painting says so much…
The lightness is felt through the release
of all that’s ended…

(The other)…Diana..🍃

A lovely poem full of fresh air, breezy and beautiful, so is the painting, it evokes life.

The portrait a study of a faceless face. So much flow, so much movement, a feeling of endless emotion, complemented, accompanied by the crisp precision of the poetic words. Just stunning.

Her presence appears ethereal, almost fleeting, magic, both in in your beautiful image of her and her poem.

Makes me want to chase after her and catch her before she's gone.

First person would work well in this too. May this 'newness' you're experiencing, result in a fresh and fulfilling new season of artistic expression. rlc

So good to read your work again. This last stanza is so all-encompassing and its paradoxical nature is the perfect culmination of all the images you wrote and the imaginings they provoked. Such craft and creative understanding of life's endless current of change and renewal. Peace. Namaste dear friend.
