Inspired to Write

So many times I’m adventuring outside I find myself in awe of the beauty around me. Like so many others, the grandeur of the outdoors fascinates me. Oftentimes I come home and just want to hold onto that feeling! Sometimes that means I try to pain it. Other times I write about it. My favorite medium for writing is poetry and free-writing. I want to start melding that two together, to allow you all to enter into the words that come to mind as I look at a painting I’ve made. Keep a look out on my Instagram for new posts. I’ll be posting the poems here as well as behind the images! I’m excited to share this with you all and I hope you enjoy it! The first poem is written below! Check out the gallery to find the painting linked to it!

Among the Pines

Among the pines

and falling snow

my eyes close

I feel known

Face is chilled

and heart is warm

breathing out

calms the storm

Mind quiet

wind a song

melody arises

as I walk along

I hear my tune

my eyes crease

laugh aloud

a smile creeps

Among the pines

I’m present now

Joy delights

at every bough.
