The lightly simple

The dramatic

The etherial

A triune of offering

A reflective journey in sound heard

Hold I its silence and its calling word

A river of memories in a cascading flow

The naming in defined measure

A pulsing, the breath is felt

The heart in resounding accord

Rhythmic in its echoes of BEING

A frivolity, this dance of liberation's quest and quail

It becomes and IS

The melding, the welding of structure in sounding form

Ascending spirit in waves

Welcomed be the light in its moment of revelation

Feel I the depth and the touch of sweet notes

Reverie and the moment gently unveiled

The pause, the silence, the ALL, the ONE

Heart's chambers speak the knowing

The Music The Music.

The song... the music... and poetic dialogue...

Marc Farre... song and poetic dialogue

hear this sounding proclamation of BEING

here I AM

night prayers, the loss, the memories

the dream awake... accord, accord, accord

the search prevails

within the melody of heart

one of these days

again it be known

the dark night

the small town

ever lost, ever found

sounding echo

hand and heart in love's refrain

a greeting 

a farewell

all to entreat passions known

heart free, heart free, sweet George

accord, accord, accord.

Alula... the music... in poetic dialogue

hear I the flutter of wings soaring

heart strings sounding

fly free

the heartbeat of the brilliant sun

the flow flow of the river

towering trees that hold the light

orchestrated hues of the setting sun

sounding sounding be the splendor

the ALL of mind, as too, rain drops

drifting, drifting, drifting

time beckons, the moon is rising

we are, we are, the calling

voices of heart in gentle refrain

the light enfolds its own magic

dream, sweet light dream

on our way

on our way

sweet, sweet journey

sweet, sweet journey.

Poetic Interludes...

Stillness in Motion

Celebratory be each particle, each wave in breath divine

Pulsing be the breath that holds to this rhythm of time

Line, form, structure, upon surface be they now known

Stillness in Motion within light upon heart be shown.

Dancing Leaves...

Branch and bough

Each budding leaf in the wake of season's vow

Its dance with the wind, its glory in the sun

Its whispering grace, life, beauty, being as ONE

Each leaf to dance and sing its WORD

In blessed silence an aria be heard.

... and I at the bench...

... and I at the bench...

I at the bench
Touched by The Sounding Light 
Colors before me in choral splendor
Brilliant, lyrical, motion in stillness sublime
Heard is the music
Felt is the dance
The beckoning Muse in surrender sweet.

The Artist's Statement Poetically Presented

Is it

Is it brush in hand and thought in heart

From which this painting has its start

Where comes this call I hear as mine

Word, color and form these gifts of time

Is it the Muse that summons the soul

Beauty be the quest, beauty be the goal

And when in completion a work is to be

Is it the Muse I hear in joyful reverie

Is it Truth that anoints each new day

With the knowing path of the spirit's way

Ever present this reach to do and create

Welcome I Truth, the Muse, Destiny and Fate

God be known in what I receive and give

This be the decree for each moment I live

Is it when faith and knowing jointly resound

That God and the Muse so freely are found

So be it brush or pen in heart, mind or hand

It is to be in the Creator's fullest command.

In Dedication to Margarita Rovenskaya

A Sunday afternoon at the Quincy Hall of the Union Arts Center,  Sparkill, New York, as the sun begins its setting sojourn, golden leaves, of the tree seen from the windows above,  hold to the light and the splendor of the sounding piano played by Margarita Rovenskaya. I listened, the light, the sound, became ONE, as joy made itself known...

Light and Sound

Golden hues in a lambent sky

Golden leaves of the towering tree

The winds and the lilting grace of the piano sounding

Such be this alchemic joy

Feel I the splendor of the dance of light and sound

This passion within each key played

Delicate and bold a lyrical majesty

Be this the heart and hand in Spirit's calling command

The breath, the pause in surrender sublime

Such be these treasures of heart

In Sunday's music embrace

Time bears its gift divine.
