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....

Lost among the autumn leaves

Lost among the Autumn leaves She found it hard to seek her vision Nor a patient mind with any ease Her heart kept racing every moment Coming on like a sudden sneeze The depth within was a long way down of that she has no fear So why does she feel these hot full tears steaming like a magical river of hope Her courage stays with her everyday As time keeps dancing along Afraid of what lurks in the shadows Terrified of the monster within She playfully dances unashamed of the awful poison named glaring An abundance of turmoil and confusion There's got to be more than this How long will she commit to this fight can she surrender to the light of the ying? Understanding her yang is the balance that's needed How colourful this glorious life is to win Taking time to clear my mind I just worked with chalk, ink on paper An idea forming, of delightful adorning There's no end to this life we are in Our mind is the mos

romance with nature

Broken shattered on the floor a million pieces, what's a few more? A fierce sledge hammer to the gut, everything just pours out YUCK! Ever stuck in symphony of destructive motions rotating at speed No more time waste on that, abilities are springing back Into a new exciting place of hope and dreams with masterful taste a combination of life long lessons, reaching out and touching heaven blessed will be the faithful ones, believing in those even undone Memorised by internal balance, proportions seem to twist so callous  A dreaded ringing in the ears, through the silence it never tears plodding along with might, heart and courage. Roaring in the face of challenge Fear not for everyone has their time, bountiful wonder of mass design Cast away distraction from truth, ending remorseful, dangerous loops The cycle only works untouched, undisturbed by dreams of lust Resourceful thinking at ferocious speed, always engaging with those in need A plentiful he

Rust in time

Everything is in motion The liquidity of pure emotion Determined by a dream like state As we explore outer notions. Peace of mind is what one seeks however simple that may seem to some it is a difficult task Un leashing feelings from the past Staring down a truthful barrel Suddenly you feel those shadows Pushing you to accept yourself At last you find some peace of mind It's not for anyone to judge Because no one really knows enough Deep within our guarded hearts Rusted shut through lack of trust There is sorrow and there is pain but there's also vanity and fame Fake news and questionable values Where can one turn to seek their morals Round and round they all seem to go Trapped in purgatory but they can't know It's here on earth that's is the main show! Just have faith in the true Divine No one left you here to rot We all have our missions & we're part of the plot Trust your instinct and look within For there
