Painting Poetry in Motion

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks. -Plutarch

Progress (and paradox)

Posted on March 9, 2019 by areilly88

Seascape daydreams
Colorful meetings
Ocean, earth and sky

Perpetual movement
Eroding dunes
Yesterday

These pictures
Salt-misted crests
Breaking waves

Reveal
In moments, now
Stillness

And progress

All is in motion
Just wait

  Thank you! If you’ve seen any of my paintings, you’ll know that the ocean features prominently in my work. Originally, this poem began:
  
  Now, when I close my eyes
  My thoughts drift to seascapes
  
  Which is true! And ironic because all I can see out the window is snow covered trees (also beautiful). Thanks so much for stopping by. I’ll plan to check out more of your writing too!
