Oil painting

Tree of Life
Gaia, Gaia
burning bright
body swaying
left and right
circles, tunnels
at your side
pull us toward
the dream you hide
roots on fire
treetops ice
heaven, hell
your sacrifice

What a talented artist Chip is! I love this tree painting and also "Night Tree." So much energy flowing through these trees. Your poem captures the color and line of the painting wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joyce! I'll pass along your comments to Chip. He's an art major at Auburn University. I know your praise and encouragement will mean lot to him ... and to me! ;-)
