Via

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.

Hear me St. Louis!

Wings

We all need space to dream.
We all need friends to share those dreams with.
We all need people who can see those dreams too.
We all need to envisage those dreams through.
We need courage and faith and perseverence and prayer.
We need time to muse to get down into that juicy, real layer.

That's why I thank you.
