colored pencil art and lighting effects by Janet K. Brennan

Points of light, a half-million
meet stars of a universe-convoluted.
One ends, another begins.
False symmetry.
City songs, mingled with benzene
tug at my mind.
Graced by a single thought.
I am on terra firma,
yet, alone.
And the world is not here.
It is there under the same moon where
Joseph lies in an empty cell, waiting.

Rose colored glasses.
I could use them!

Solitary in this tangled place.
As Joseph lies in the dark
where the floor meets the ceiling.
One ends, another begins.
False symmetry.
No points of light, only Luna
slipping through a two by four.
He is graced by a single thought.
He is alone.
The world is not here.
It is under the same moon where
she stands, waiting.

Wow, dear Janet. That's excellent writing! Will read this more than once, for the emotions are strong and haunting.

Love,

wow, this is beautifully complex...does the title justice.
I wish I could write like this....(wish I could find my muse and give her a good prodding)

Dramatic piece of art ~ and writing!

It's good to see your pretty smiling face now that you managed to post your photo!

Thanks so much for your kind comments. Hee! Man, I can be such a ditz, but could not for the life of me get my picture up there.

Thanks for the comment on the art, Margrit/ I love to illustrate my work but do not think I am very good at it. I did get a few peices published in an art book a while back, but that is pretty much it. Very theraputic though.

Huggs to all
