Studies in form and texture

Striding Forward

MODEL

We, your ancestors, are awakening;                            We wish to speak to you of many things;                                                     Of life’s possibilities, the joys it can bring. 
We are here to remind you it’s all in your hands,         We transcend space and time to make amends;           We are here to offer our courage, strength, and love,    To help you break trauma’s bonds,                              To forgo your dark inheritance,                                   To free future, past, present generations. 

We have something to say;                                        Listen!                                                                        As this world grows dark and grey:                                        Keep on the light of love,                                        Create,                                                                           Dance,                                                                            Sing,                                                                       Nurture one another,                                            Prepare for sunlit days.

VOICES IN THE DARK

Into the Light

Bedecked by blossoms, I laugh, giddy with delight.  I contain soft splendor,  my earthen form transfigured. 

A CHILD’S CALL

Headdress

DREAM BOXES

Dreambox

Open me,

I contain your dreams,

  Take a look,

    Enjoy the view,

      The blast of fresh air,

        The smell of green pastures

Open me,

Swim in mighty rivers,

        out to the ocean,

    Fly through woodlands,

          under the full moon,

Dance across heather-covered moors

                  and wind-swept sands.

Open me,

  Set your dreams free,

        Their progeny will return,

      To be held here,

As caterpillars in their cocoons.
