Winter Watercolor
2007-01-06
Dark clouds hang like a curtain, partially drawn up to let the winter blue sky show along the edge. Sun light peaks out beneath, giving an ethereal feel to what would normally be described as a gloomy day. Instead, God's Grace shines through, giving clearer meaning to life that might seem doomed. But for His Grace, would I be depressed and sad...but I cannot be when such beauty indescribable melts the dreary shades of gray, and transforms them into a watercolor masterpiece.
Happy Holidays!!

Seekers
Weary travelers from the East afar,
following stardust, wander.
“Whom do you seek?” whispers the night.
“A King of importance,” their answer.
“We know Him,” utters their burdened beasts.
“I’ve touched Him,” sighs the wind.
Each day they journey the path of the sun,
from its birth to its dying embers.
Each night, from the veil of darkness, leads
a light, that beckons them onward.
“I feel Him,” says the sunshine warm.
“We see Him,” twinkle the stars.
Their trek is long, but they are urged on,
by their knowledge of heavenly splendor,
which can only mean, that this is no King,
of common earthly honor.
“He’s both,” bow the trees knowingly.
“You’ll see,” shifts the sand beneath.
Through foreign lands they continue their search,
each heart intrigued by the mystery,
and their questions evoke a wondering,
that in time will lead others to seek.
“He formed us,” the rocks try to tell them.
“We are His breath,” falls the snow on their cheeks.
But the palace they find, holds no newborn King,
just a ruler with jealous obsessions,
who uses their knowledge with evil intent,
and leaves Rachael to weep for her loved ones.
“Keep searching,” the birds call around them.
“But be careful,” the heavens warn.
So they follow again when the star reappears,
and leads them to a humble dwelling,
where, within, they kneel to a lowly child--
the One they were so long in seeking.
“We’ve found Him!” They shout with resounding joy.
“He’s always been,” Creation breathes.

Art: A Compliment to My Writing
2006-08-29
Usually when I'm inspired to write, I feel the desire to paint or draw...I love to illustrate! There's a sense of completion when I can visually add to what I've penned. If you would like to read any of my writings, you can find me at http://midspoint.com or http://midspointofview.blogspot.com
Art: a personal endeavor...
2006-08-28
Art is reflection of who I am, an extention of my creative side. Many of my pieces are done as gifts, some as commissions, and some are illustrations for future books or anthologies. If you see something you like, please let me know and I will work with you on creating a personal piece at a reasonable price.
