Ferverent

Written from April 27th- May 7th 2010

   And so it is, that in my kingdom of woes,
   the dust from shattered dreams gathers and
   perpetuates the daunting task of mending, which I own.
   Finds me embracing the pain that has been thrust upon me
   while confronting the mountain, with the willingness to climb
   holding frayed ropes and hardware of rust
   I scale facades of rocky obstacles, skin on stone
   bleeding in the emptiness that echoes alone

   Should I reach this peak where no-one is home
   I must shout to the heavens to share this load
   and stand before the mirror until it speaks
   For all who forsake me in my time of need
   don't say you knew me if you did not help me succeed
   to soften the tears of a sturdy man, so you can view me
   without the reflective glass, like an open window
   near the door that lets you in.

Friday & Saturday's events (April 30th/May 1st)

The grand opening at Rhodes gallery and studio was a success! There were plenty of people
that came to view the works of art, listen to music & enjoy the company of others. I for one
had a good time mostly striking up conversations & looking at some of the new works since
I last was there! Much thanks to Bonnie & Greg for putting this evening together. I truly
believe it was an enjoyable night for everyone.   http://rhodesgalleryandstudio.wordpress.com/

Sat. morning I helped with the plantings at Davey Lopes' community garden. It was part of a
series of workshops on urban gardening, etc. put on by Plant Providence http://www.plantprovidence.org
the people at Southside community land trust  http://www.southsideclt.org
I had some fun, met some good people, and , well worked! I'm tired!
