asunder swings a musket
as certain battlements of life
make their way to the stage
theater is a beautiful plague
for the senses unleashed
a safe way to feel and
for another bleed
cleansing personal wounds
of self as you do so
I loom great too often
in my own tower dark
I stumble for the torches
grieve bitter for the mark
act three, scene two
was my swan song
landing me in a vacuum
of between life steps
hummingbirds
lotus blossoms
medieval forests
and purple mountains
layers to wonder
they all became
spilling from paintings
into my poet's head
butterflies fly to be
life's butter
that soft, sweet substance
that makes living better
breath to nature
is like 'Journaling Jaguars'
withholding from the world
the true wonder that you behold..............

Author's Notes/Comments:
Was pondering how empty life would be without the many art forms. Thinking about sketching art, music theater,even abstract thinking. Life would be so dull without all those beautiful addatives that we as humans so enjoy and far too often take for granted.
