Oh The Things You Have Seen, The Places You Have Been
Oh The Things You Have Seen
The things we can’t unsee
It may have been traumatic things
Buildings falling down
Danger, danger all around
People captured
Religious enraptured
With those of us sight unseen
Drama, drama, hide if you can
The government is on the rise again
But through it all
You persevere
You live a life
Turn away the strife
Try to remember
The lovely things
Oh hell
Don’t dwell
Move forward
Without fear
Be glad you had these years

Is Anyone Listening
Is Anyone Listening
A play on the idiom “falling on deaf ears.” From personal experience in a relationship you wonder can’t they hear or are they not letting the words penetrate their brain membrane. It’s all a game anyway isn’t it.

Power Over Pain
Inspired by a trip to Italy where I took photos of monumental statues holding up major edifices. This statue as it was then and now brought to mind the anger, agony, despair, all encompassing pain that tries to defeat us. We are strong, we have the power, we are relentless.

Point of View
Peer through a window and take in the view from Sorrento. It reveals a vast fertile valley of pine, lemon, orange trees and rows of grapes. Look even further across to Mt. Vesuvius standing high above the bay shows us there can be healing from a destructive past.
