    Love the artwork and the poetically insightful words

    Necessary movers of our weight.
    Sleepwalk through the mess.
    Entire cities, like children,
    Acting out for attention.

    "Entire Cities, Like Children" It is excellent existentialist poem that talks about how humanity advances asleep through life, how it lives surrounded by seduction and enraptured like little children, without a true vision and a consonance with the times that are lived. I really enjoyed reading, congratulations for such good writing, @kilbride.

      Nestled calm, comfortable, contented
      So well aspected,
      With just enough tension
      To coax
      growth
      And perhaps evade that pleasant acceptance.
      So known for wearing
      Even the most brilliant, beautiful people
      Into feeble
      Apparitions.
      Have you begun to wear so young?

      Delightful piece of writing, kilbride:)

        Terrific imagery in your very existential poem. I also like the way you’ve rendered your painting with its own existential quality.
