Beyond Artesian Springs

It may not, but it's certainly an image that reaches back in time to well before the arrival of Europeans in the South West.

Wow, these are nice. I really like the statue Mario..makes me think of battle insects which really goes with the poem. Great pic too Joshua...those ancient feets are amazing. Ah, Chaline...lovely Madamoiselle, I hope all is well with you. I've haven't looked at your work in a long time...that's a great piece! thank you

I'm happy the thread was re-opened Jerry, the closing of it left me scratching my head.

DescriptionThe real victims of wars, these innocent children and a devastated mother needing food for her infant child which tightly clings to her, the older child comforts her with a hand on her back saying mother don't cry! it will be all right, as he extends his other hand with an empty plate, begging for a morsel, Oh the shame of war! No justification can right the human suffering caused by wars,no not a single one!

Me too Mario...just a misunderstanding but it's squared away now...Thanks for reopening it Jeffrey and Isabella

I'd like to see other pieces that felt kind of like this poem when created

Finally finished this piece....thanks so much for use of the piece "Elsewhere" Chaline...beautiful



Beyond Artesian Springs

the planet’s leaves are turning
like rustling feeble memories
of fabled growing seasons
reaping faith and innocence

forgotten on frosty mornings
mother eternity slowly squeezes
arms wrapped in swift perfection
beyond gravity’s clumsy reach

into the orbits of our shaman
where the Druid priests worship
with Muslims, Jews, Christians,
and antiquity’s prostrate martyrs

love connects our souls there
and the grisly thorn-pricked stains
of Eldorado’s desperate hands
are cleansed in universal truth
