In This One Corner

In this one corner
You’ll find works of
Great beauty and depth,
Evoking wonder,
Recounting tales of
Places visited,
Feelings felt,
Life lived.
Ask the artist a question,
There is a lot to be learned
About humanity here,
Knowledge earned through
Experience, vulnerability,
Courage, bliss.

Not Previously Conceived

It stares back at me
Daring me to do something,
To create anything
Of consequence, some idea
Not previously conceived,
A feeling revealed anew,
Some treasure that
Lends new life to an
Unsuspecting passerby.

So Many Years Wasted

In that brief moment
He recognized that
Things hadn’t been as he thought.

People just behave the way
They always have,
With little or no forethought.

All this time spent worrying
It was about him when it really was
People just being themselves.

A sense of relief followed by loss,
So many years wasted,
Many to be enjoyed.
