still life -- painting by douglas brent smith
hey you
i found you before
life left any dents before
the form found flaws and
with open wonderment alive and
ready for more
you found me ready
for new forms fresh foundation
sparks! light! early morning smiles
receiving all the giving and living
ready for more
every past piece of effort faded
as we created this new kind of kiss
tighter and sweeter and slightly awkward
youthfully extending our freely found
arms around gladness hey you hey you
we found each other ready
for each other
and did not let go.

Creativity is almost ready...
The less creative you feel, the closer you are to feeling creative again.

Moment of Light, Moment of Joy
Celebrate the joy within what is, and then what's missing will appear. The picture is already complete.

bizarre ensemble duo
bizarre ensemble duo -- sketch by douglas brent smith, from "the bizarre chronicles, volume one" 1984
anonymous, take a number
i am not anonymous
i am not a number you can push around
so get off my back!
do not pigeon-hole me or
patronize me or
i'll come unglued
not the common man
i get uncommon as often as i can
so stop measuring me
reassuringly
i am not anonymous
i am not a number you can push around
so get off my back!
