A Poet Inspired by An Artist

Photo by Scott Cramer

    I'm Grateful

She bends her body

toward the rock

seeing beyond what I see

dried needles caught

in small crevasses different

from where life catches

me in momentary thought

    I'm not okay.

 

I need the smoothness

of most days

when I awake

and looking up

find inspiration

then turn to where

the sun

is always there

above the clouds

    and pray.

 

My realization is, "There are moments that catch our attention, cause us to pause, to let them stay longer, to not yet leave them behind, but let them linger in our mind."
