To See You

 

 

To see you

I have to risk seeing myself

I mean to really see you

To open not only the eyes on my face

But the eyes within my mind

And really see you

I have to be prepared to see who I am

You are a mirror to me

All of you

And this scares me in a way

That I am not yet ready to face

So I will glance at you and smile

And we will leave it at that for now

And when the courage comes

I will try to give it to my eyes

To see you

I do not think about you now

In the way you think of me

Memories are not held here

But broken open and set free

All gathering and entangling

With every moment that has passed

They wait on the arrival

Of the moment to be last

For it is the final one

That will make it also clear

I do not think about you now

I am letting go the fear

The abstract

I like creating abstract art. So much of or lives are defined for us that an abstract visual can offer us a moment of freedom. It is a chance for us as the viewer to make up our own mind about what it is we are perceiving. I have met friends who do not like this and would prefer to have most everything they see definable the minute they see it. Like many things abstract art is not for everyone, you have to be willing to let your own life experience and perception connect for a moment with the work. This can be a moment of vulnerability and that often makes people feel uncomfortable or awkward.

These two images were created with the camera. Shooting in the early evening light I shut off my flash and in the low light the camera shutter stays open longer and if I move the camera at the same time I get these great blurred shots. I then put them into the computer over saturate the color and sometimes add other filters to enhance or define line.

I do give names to the images I create, but I won't do that here so they are even less defined. If you would like to see names and more abstracts follow the link below.

Notion #16

There is a point where you stop talking and listen

There is also a point where you stop looking and see

I think it maybe that just past that point is where we begin to feel

At that point there is no turning back

Keep on going

as my soul sees me

"as my soul sees me"

Unaware that I am walking around

My soul thinks I float

unaware that I can produce sound

My soul assumes I'm mute

My soul is just aware of all the spaces with in me

and the struggles they posses

Each space holds one conflict

one dilemma, trying to work itself for me out

or one excitation, one elation 

Burning to express this myself without doubt.

This is just a fragment of the confusion

with which my soul sees me.

I may write more later and then again may not.
