Three Simple Abstract Mosaics

/ Flowerpoet / Leave a comment
This is the last in my series of three abstract acrylic mosaics with no subject planned or attended but it turned out to have three crosses in the composition, perhaps synchronized as a post before Good Friday though also unplanned. I find abstract art often speaks to my layered consciousness.
This is the second of my abstract acrylic mosaics made from some of my ‘recycled’ paintings. I didn’t aim for perfection in cutting mosaic pieces, some of which are little abstract paintings in themselves.
This is the first of my abstract acrylic mosaics previously posted a few weeks ago. Again, I made no attempt at ‘machine perfection’ here and it was all composed as a spontaneous abstraction. If there’s a message, it could be ‘I’m enjoying the Process and having Fun.’ 😁💕✨

Love Sees Beauty

Love Sees Beauty

Love sees Beauty in ‘imperfections’,

in the ‘ordinary and common’ sights,

in the chaos that births creation

where awe and wonder delights.

Love sees Beauty present in every form

though judged by many a human-

feet, ears, nose judged ‘too big’, ‘too small’,

‘too little’ fat or ‘too much’,

‘too short’ in stature, ‘too tall’,

‘bad hair day’, no hair at all,

warts, pimples, scars and wrinkles-

Love sees Beauty through it all.

Love sees treasures of Beauty

in rocks, in weeds, in grasses that sway,

in taken-for-granted inventions,

in Nature’s abstract and fractal formations,

in sunset skies reflected on water,

in weather ‘events’ or calm of a day.

Love sees Beauty in the artist’s mess

transforming chaos into creations-

spills, sound-jumbles, rips, smudges, smears,

trash-treasures, excavations, explosions

moving dirt to build, to form

something new like the formation of stars.

Love sees Beauty through it all.

We see through the ‘eyes’ of God

when we see through Love for all.

Meaningful Short Sentences

Abstract Tree and Shrub. I created this from a night photo I took around Christmas one year by swinging a camera I had at the time then playing with the image in Photoshop software. It has nothing to do with the poem except the creation of meaning. 🤗😂💕✨

You Came Here To Dance

/ Flowerpoet / 6 Comments
Swirling Dancers. This is my digital art from a photo I took. I’ve used software to create similar flower statements of Dance as a fun hobby.
My poem written, printed and photographed this morning. I’ll key it out as well.

You Came Here To Dance

Life says, You came here to Dance,

to Dance in groups or with a partner

or changing partners or even

to Dance alone…

Life is a Harmony of rhythms

all happening simultaneously

moving fast and moving slow

here and everywhere in all directions…

We move in and out of the physical flow-

Seen and Unseen, we come and go…

Sometimes we lose our Balance

learning to Master our own Steps-

Life’s Beloved Children,

we’re learning, remembering our Steps…

Life sees and gently guides us

to think for ourselves, to choose

how we feel, E-motions responding

to collective rhythms or creating

rhythms all on our own…

Our Souls came here to Dance…

Before we’re born, we choose

‘Where’ in the Cosmos we wish to Dance-

God’s Free Will Gift to our Souls.

Love and Growth move us ever

to Places, to Cultures, to People

Dancing in Harmonizing Rhythms-

Souls’ Agendas moving Together…

We Dance in Harmony Together

even ‘off Balance’ sometimes-

choosing, ‘rechoosing’ our Steps…

Some move through Life Solitary

Dancing Individuality through Life.

Some move Together As One

in Disciplined Harmony,

Rhythmically Rippling and Merging

their Individuality…

Over the Movements of many Dances,

many Lifetimes, many Timelines,

Souls experience many Steps

in the Wonder and Beauty and Glories

of Unity in Diversity, Diversity in Unity,

the Divine Energy of Life’s Dance…

We all came here to Dance…
