Pressing Against The Limits   1 comment

Pressing Against The Limits — Image by kenne

One does not “understand” this.
Understanding would reduce it,
make it manageable.

Instead, it asks for duration—
for the discipline
of staying with excess.

What emerges
is not a resolution
but a sharpened awareness

of how much
we need things
to mean one thing
at a time.

Petals in soft squares,

spring arranged in patchwork light—

blossoms held in frame.

Sulphur Butterfly and Yardflowers Mixed Art (September 2012) — by kenne

Understand the relationship
Between a butterfly and a flower.
Understand the relationship
Between food and hunger,
Between drink and thirst.

But dear sir, let not the heart
Go loose without restraint.
Go apart from all and stay.

Destruction   7 comments

Destruction — Mixed Art by kenne

I have heard the sermons of the birds,
which many dismiss as totally absurd.
We need to listen so that all is not lost
otherwise, we will all pay the cost.

You know what I’m saying friend
lost time will not be found again.
We only have one blue earth
do nothing, the future will be a stillbirth.

Redwing Blackbird — Mixed Art by kenne

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
 
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
 
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
 
John Lennon / Paul McCartney

“Hope” is the thing with feathers – (314)   Leave a comment

Osprey — Mixed Art by kenne

“Hope” is the thing with feathers – (314)
 
“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
 
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
 
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.
 
— Emily Dickinson
