Simply to Exist
I slowly walk through the forest
and feel the soft jade moss
caress my feet as I pass by all
the beauty and wonder that surrounds me,
for today I have a purpose.  
Today I capture your essence for all to see.

Pen and pad in hand I approach
the clearing ahead where I know you
will be waiting for me.  
You always are.
A stone gray sentinel keeping
watch over your domain.
Branches stretching up to the sky
and bending this way and that at the
slightest breeze.
As if paying homage to some unknown
deity by bowing day after day.

I find a comfortable spot and begin
to sketch your massive frame.

My Inspiration
I sit on the weatherworn porch
gently swinging my feet
as I watch you water your flowers.
The morning sun is still hid
beneath the blankets of the pine trees
over the hills, and past the valleys
where the morning mist gathers
before fading out of this existence

You make such simple motions look so graceful

A friend of mine (sixwings) really sold me on this Escher guy. His use of perception is absolutely amazing. This is one of my favorite pictures of his. I put t up as my wallpaper and my coworkers would stop as they walk by and tilt their head like the RCA dog (hehee, it was funny). A lot of them said it hurt their head though so i changed it (boo). Oh well, i didnt make it, but it is a desktop I have :) (Smile)
