Magic Wolf

What is magic, if not the ability to touch the souls of distant lives

With our words, music, paintings, and performances?

The connection created when someone laughs, cries, or is moved by our work?

That is the truest magic of all.

Acrylic paints and colored pencil on 6" x 8" (15x20 cm) heavyweight cold press watercolor paper.

"Sakura"

In the garden's hush, 'neath twilight's pall, Cherry blossoms sway, a silent thrall. Their petals whisper soft goodbyes, In mirrored depths where dreams arise.

With mournful grace, on mirrored sheen, The blossoms pirouette, then fall unseen. For in their bloom, they dance, they sigh, But all too soon, they fade and die.

In hues of pink and fragile white, They paint the waters with soft light. Even as they grace the water's gleam, Their fate is sealed, a fleeting dream.

Like whispers lost in evening's glow, In nature's cycle, swift they go. Each blossom, a reminder clear, Of life's ephemeral veneer.

In every fall, a solemn plea, To cherish moments, let them be. For life, like blossoms, swift and fleet, In moments past, we find it sweet. ...

romanticise your life, take pretty pictures, feel like the main character, light up a candle, read books, go for a walk, dance to your favourite music, buy yourself presents, do whatever you want, be happy - this is your life, don’t let anyone take it from you

I will NEVER get over the fact that I can write stories. Like I can weave threads of whimsy in a whole new world and make people feel things if I weave them well enough???? Stories are worth so much!!! Lines of poetry are literally currency to me like I get to write little lines and then writing little lines helps me notice things when I read other peoples' lines????? Magic! Whimsy! Characters! Words! Words! Words!
