November's Story... setting, Tappan, New York...

Deep russet brown and touches of gold

This be November's story this day told

Glimmer of green

In grass be seen

As soft winds and setting light

Bring many a leaf to take to flight

Blanket of leaves cover the ground

Rustling be their special sound

'Tis a twilight moment gifted to me

This season of time from blessings BE.

Moment of FREEDOM ~ CANCER NO MORE...

Moment of FREEDOM, passion in expression, light and shadow in complement, strokes of color in rapturous gratitude… yes, the moment of CANCER NO MORE… This a painting that dons the entry wall of the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Room. A welcoming to confront, to resolve, to the ultimate in wellbeing. The SELF in honor of SELF…

the body may be ravaged and feeling pain

yet there be a deeper knowing beyond the inane

the spirit holds to freedom and flight

passions yet to be expressed hold to the light

a palette of color and a canvas await

brush and strokes lay open a gate

oppression's daunting echoes silenced they be

when willful be the Spirit set free

'tis this moment of freedom that beckons and makes its call

and known be the guiding hand of the ALL.

And so it IS...

The grace of time in seasons be known
Colors in brilliant array in October be shown
Such gems of beauty in leaves of gold
Alchemic be a story told
Ruby red and bright orange in lavish array
Divinity to paint the day.

The WARRIOR Within

The WARRIOR Within

Pulsing sounding of heart
Breath and life ne’er depart
Reaching, grasping quest be known
The cry, the call for love be shown
Tenderness and care, constant be the refrain
Life and destiny calling its claim
Heed well the need, the desire
For expressed be the passion and fire
The questing soul holds to light divine
Beyond all constraint, all confine
The WARRIOR Within sounds liberation’s plea
The SELF, the SELF, the conceived destiny.

Such Be the Gift

Such Be the Gift 

Touches of crimson on the dogwood tree

'Tis the play of color in this season to be

Each leaf holds glimmers of gold

Within, the story of days be told

'Tis Summer's end, hail to the Autumn anew

Treasures of color in many a hue

Such be the gift of tree and time

The breath of beauty, the pulse sublime.

The night... the dream... the creation ...

The night... the dream... the creation ... the flow of color upon the canvas ... 

the soaring of spirit within the heart ... and so...

cosmic crown of consciousness
light of the Omnipresent
reign I in the Kingdom of SELF
galaxies alchemic, majesty eternal.

Gifted to me...

Gifted to me a garden flower with love

And held be the beauty of earth and the light above

Petals of divine color and gentle grace

This splendor of BEING within my heart to place.
