poem-curled October 30, 2015

You are landscape:

hills curled around valleys,

shoulder arced over head

thighs a rounded panorama.

You are pushed up against darkness,

it puddles beneath your breasts,

but waken, beauty.

Light lingers  on your glistening skin;

dawn caresses your body,

an invitation to fall in love with day.

I’m admiring the art on my wall again.  This poem is written about this drawing: https://shawnbird.com/2015/02/21/poem-the-light-returns/  How thankful I am for Elaine’s skills.  The artist in me greets the artist in thee! Namaste.

Through mourning,

the light returns

brushing softly

touching tenderly

with morning.

We just hung this large, stunning drawing in our house.  Elaine Holmes is an artist and teaching colleague from down the road.  I fell in love with the piece at an exhibition in the Salmon Arm Arts Centre called “Dark Nights” 10 artists celebrating the solstice.  We’re delighted to own it!  It just asked for its own poem.  🙂
