Songbird
 

In her gaze, time stands motionless. In her eyes, I see the eyes of someone long ago.

The creative muse is frantic when I sleep.

She thinks I am giving away her secrets,

In songs, in sighs, in painted smiles. 

But I know these are my dreams waiting for me under my pillow. They lap hypnotically at the shores of my heart. We will never stop trying to make something beautiful.

I have been hired to work on my first graphic novel, “Portraits of Esperanza”, dealing with the US immigration crisis. https://unitedwestay.org/artivism/portraits-of-esperanza/

I hope to see you on Saturday, August 13 at my studio, 10am – 5 pm!
