Rewritten

Darkness
Arriving again
Tides of despair
Surrounding

Stalemate
Lifetime’s frozen breath
Sunrise postponed
Forsaken

Conscience
Chilling thoughts collide
Gentle whisper
Outpouring

Answers
Hidden in shadows
Seemingly lost
Forgotten

Nightbird
Emptiness cries out
Steps incomplete
Exhausting

Morning
Every verse aligned
Light’s blaze harnessed
Rewritten

Sustained bitterness works like a thorn, which sinks deeper and deeper into our fragile soul, until the emptiness consumes our heart.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher.  He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.

Always Expected (Haiku Series #387)

Patience Delivers

Creator’s spirit

Coloring breathless landscape—

One more falling leaf

Postcard Sent

October’s colors

Timeless, never forgotten—

Fall’s welcome parade

Top of World

Autumn sinking in

Kaleidoscope of color—

Taking breath away

Richard Mayhew Quotes

Example of Richard Mayhew’s mindscape (courtesy of Pinterest)

What value does ethnicity have to do with one’s universal creative consciousness. Nature is constantly reinventing itself, and that is how I relate to ethnicity.

What I do with landscapes is internalize my emotional interpretation of desire, hope, fear, and love. So, instead of a landscape, it’s a mindscape.

Richard Mayhew (1924-2024) was an American artist. His abstract landscapes convey inner states and feelings.
