yanking a thread from the soul
that’s what it is
one filament at a time
you unravel
note by note
composing
soundless symphonies
for the outside world
dreaming
word by word
form by form
every infinite limb
in the universe
becomes rapt
in your pursuits
then
one day
there’s nothing left to give
only
what you’ve made
and your efforts
are either remembered
or forgotten
crazy blue bird, created a few weeks ago with Tombow markers and Prisma pencils, while in a feathery mood 😉
The bird looks a little angry.

perhaps he’s mildly disgruntled 😉

Your welcome AnnMarie I am a little behind on technology but I bought a ton of Playstation 2 videogames cheap. These games date back over 10 years and are cheap. Fun to play. Bring back good memories. Lol we are on Playstation 4 currently so I am two generations behind on technology. It will be a good way to distract myself like drawing.

My feelings are that our creative connection and efforts play a tune in the universe and are always there vibrating. Ours minds forget, but our souls don’t. I’m surprised I said that. Hmmm!

Hmm, indeed 😉

I know the feeling of the yanking soul thread one filament at a time. Beautiful description.
I imagine Crazy Blue Bird as a ruthless bird of prey. Love his colors and great expression.

I hoped the kooky bird would brighten the words a bit – ’cause – creating can be a blast too – depending on the day.
Thank you, Leslie.

Yes, yes, yes! — This one is already printed out and hanging on my ARK Shrine. I’ve also “shared” the hell out of it (Twitter, FB) ’cause it’s that dern good, Miss. And the art is superlative! I love the voice/tone of this piece — absolutely, absolutely. I cannot praise enough, truly …. Bellisimo!

Thank you, mucho, mucho.
I had written this awhile back – then before I published – I changed a bit of the wording – then again, before I hit publish, I reordered the phrasing – then I changed the art… – you know – this is an imposter post – it’s not what I started out with at all 😉

Can you say “perfectionist”? 🙂 Doesn’t matter what you started out with. All that matters is what you end up with. [My new slogan for the day. Speaking of the day, I slept in again, darn it. Gotta stop that! :)] Really, AM, the whole post — lovely-perfect.

The angry eye in this bird — the emotions within. The colors are passionate in themselves.
Your efforts, my special friend in this amazing place, shall be remembered by those who are closest to you, at least. Our true art is in our relationships — and you my friend, I heartily suspect, are a whiz at relationships! 🙂
Over my lovely Chardonnay this evening, I salute you from Boston!
