I am a butterfly


I spent all my life as a caterpillar...
chomping my way through the grass
But then one day, I started to change
from the inside to the out!

Trapped inside a cocoon of terror
Fighting every day and night
Exhausted, crying and emotional
I really was quite the sight!

Something inside was telling me
to clam down and let it happen
but outers voices shouted with rage
Forget it! Just keep going!

What's wrong with them, I thought to myself
Can't they see, this is where I'm meant to be
I need to stay just where I am
For something is going on, maybe a greater plan!

My inner voice kept leading me
towards the brightest star at night
one determined focused mind
Was fighting the battle for her life

My seemingly force imprisonment
has been the freedom to my world
All the greats! They were quite right
They can't take away our minds!

Freedom is a state of being
but others will make you think
Your freedom doesn't matter and they'll
Find a way to make you sink!

"they' want you to be a caterpillar 
but to stay there all your life!
They'll say your not important
and stop you doing your thing.

Hopefully I'm a caterpillar
who's not afraid of change...
I like to think that one day soon
I shall spread my wings and just be.

Be the person I always was
and who I was really meant to be
discarding all the other crap
so my vision is clear to see!

I believe I am a butterfly,
and you aint seen nothing yet!
The power growing in my soul...
this journey's not done yet!


New perspective
Acrylic on canvas
'sold' but never forgotten!


My New Perspective exhibition
was all about the street!
Down to earth, real raw art
with lovely people to greet!

Some did come and other didn't 
That's ok with me
I discovered something very important
and it was something about me

I have been shouting from the rooftops
but not many others could see
a few rare souls is all it took...
To make me see my magic key

I never thought my art was good
I thought I was stating the obvious!
Now I see right in front of me
My gift might be sharing with others....

A darkness creeping

Feeling my way through the dark, This is all new territory for me I've never been quite so proud Of discovering what it's like to be free I watch the passers by drone past In their massive funeral processions. Blinding light and blinkers on They only seek to complete their mission A lot of people out their can't see past their nose. Always taking on social challenges Just to feed their empty ego's Money doesn't matter, get over it I say! Wake up world and see the light for now you are the rain clouds Pouring down on other people That are different from yourself Falling into a sea of indifference Causing mental disease and hate I fail to understand why anyone can fall asleep at night If I don't do something grand right now! That's 2 generations who neglect! Oh what a danger, we all have become causing destruction to our Earth Greedy minds just hunger for a chance to build self worth the rest of

Disconnect and get connected

I edit so much of what I am thinking afraid of the judgement my true thoughts will receive I am starting to learn that I am not alone There are many more out there, just like me Tired and lonely because things aren't really right feeling a huge obligation to fake it all the time A true conversation or a pleasant exchange I really struggle to watch people rushing around No time for nothing, no time for a chat Unless you are in trouble, they will then have your back I can't help but consider the difference it would make if people made time, before its too late To take a moment and stop to contemplate Their valuable time isn't being used wisely Instead its all about money and social climbing Where is your kindness? compassion and love? These people are all good and its not their fault The filthy rich companies are controlling so much stuff The governments are failing but trying their best Everyone ones complain about this horrible

Too much noise!

Image
Right now my heart is yearning for a quieter time of day The constant source of noise, feels like it's blocking my child Random thoughts expressed out loud are filling up my head I can't quite get a clear line in with all that's being said A useless bunch of information is taking over my mind I feel less focused and my concentration is not wandering in Divine I suddenly feel imprisoned in a crowded mind of thought The feeling roaring up inside are starting to effect my work Where must I go, what must I seek to keep myself in check I'm exhausted keeping up with me, my mind is starting to choke A bulky kind of misleading pattern has entered in my mind My inner calm is screaming now as I toil away in the deadly hours Persistence and a driving ray is trying to find my way I'm surrounded in the darkness of whatever came was thrown my way Sinking quickly in the sand of shame and total dis array Did i miss my foot stepping into a pile o
