Home: A Short Poem
As I am working on a new piece of art for a local show, I’m beginning to think that it won’t end up being very well suited to the theme that inspired it (For the Love of Florida). It’s funny how that works, isn’t it? You start something with a simple but clear idea and it begins to take a life of its own? I’m not too sad, though. If it comes together half as nice as I’m hoping, I won’t want to part with it, anyway.
Home
Though the feet of a wanderer
May often travel far
It is within their heart
That they carry with them home
And it is within their words
On paper and in song
And within their art
Made of timber, clay, and sand
That they share it with the world.
Before I go, I’d like to leave a shout-out to Hourglass Brewing, who not only brews my favorite red ale, the Irish Curse, but also regularly hosts art shows like For The Love of Florida. They, too, had a hand in inspiring this project and are an important part of the community that so readily accepts me for being me.
Don’t forget to find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to keep up with all of my daily shenanigans!
