the west coast trail
our last day
from civilization
~
early evening
the beach
our campsite
lost in our world
~
a gigantic salmon
exuberantly splashes
a curious seal
beckons us
~
vibrating souls
we’ve never felt
so connected
~
I keep dreaming …
~
shifting imagery
reflecting and absorbing
diverse perspectives
spectrums of truth
~
values
spirituality
community
power
~
when do these
relationships
bring us together
tear us apart
~
I keep dreaming …

Just like in real life
depending on your perspective

for a sense

wondering Rothko paintings
whiteout of snow
dust storms of sand
cloudy muffled night
~
faith without visibility
trusting uncertainty
accepting our process
we’re lost, we’re alive

when I observe
a work
from Picasso
or any artist
~
first and foremost
I always try
open my perception
to the artwork
~
even though
I love Picasso’s imagery
freedom, imagination, interpretation
shapes, colour
~
I have a distorted bias
within myself
against the man
but
a deep respect
for his artistic vision
~
I
become
the
fractured
cubist
portrait

the poem was originally a comment
part of a picasso dialogue on Standing Ovation, Seated
