What a wonderful experience just watching this painting introduce itself across my canvas as well as in the poem that followed. Do you feel how and if they relate to each other?

“In this Place of Forest Deep”

In this Place
Of Forest Deep
Surrender all
OK to weep

For always here
This time to keep
Across the Spiral,
Peaceful Sleep

For time seems past
But here and now
All things occur
The Sphere avows

We struggle to
The daylight now
As in this moment,
The knowing how

The place of when
Begins again
The restless heart
Quiets then

The source invited,
Confided in,
For you are mine
And I am yours, Again.
