Art communicates beauty. Via means "way" in Latin, and I believe we each have our own way to create. This blog celebrates unique mediums of expression.

"View from Above" poem about the Mississippi River
I wish I could feel
the rocky banks that angle down to the squishy bottom.
The mix of steely rock
and soft mud,
Like a nutty chocolate pudding pie.
Slide down that bank
and create my own grooves-
my own path:
as I descend onto my belly and wiggle in the mushy mud pie floor.
Until I look up,
beckoned by the white light above me dancing on the water's surface.
Oh....Here I am, and... the world makes comments. I could pass by unnoticed and be silent and be.. Safe! from the critic's Eye. No, judgments or jealous attacks or idle commentary. But then I'm not me--- So here is Me! Here I am Finally Free.
