a christmas gift

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!

may you and your loved ones be protected and properous in spirit in the years to come

a couple excerpts from a semi finished calendar project I’m working…

I am not as eloquent as the great ambrose

just a couple reflections on our art from the sidelines

its why I do this thing

For the shapers… this gift of words

The Shapers Torment

I feel the outline of your beautiful soul

locked within the cloud of vagueness before me

but can i sum the courage necessary to free you?

or will i only but frame an image of my own prejudice

instead what lies truly hidden

beneath your protective exterior

As I slice away the layers of your protective shell

And with long caressing strokes to expose erotic curves

I must stop now and then

to absorb and feel your gentle voice

guiding me

in the freeing of your hidden spirit

what joys will you bring

I ask?

as your beauty reflects in the sparkle of the sunlight

glissening among the dew drops on your skin

the passion

your revelation brings to my heart

is only overshadowed by the pain of seperation

of having to let you go

on your journey into your future

I pray for your protection

for you will always be a part of me

And for the riders… this gift of words

The Ride

My heart beating with anticipation

turns into strong caressing strokes

from which I rise to glory

down then up again

down then up again

the rhythm of our dance

always reflects the mood of your spirit

until finally we become one

as you envelope me

with the love of your being

togethor we ride in rhythm

for what seems an eternity

until fulfilled

I turn to paddle back out

to your beginnings

and to experience

the grace of your love

once more

I would like to inscribe your prose inside my next boards guts, might help soften the heart.

You should frame this poem

oneula

psst… Bernie… it’s “envelop”… the other is what you mail a letter in.

It’s from the heart that counts. Nice stuff there Bernie.
