december time –

observing traditions

fought for by believers

as mankind fights this pandemic

covid 19

with hard-nosed determination

in a race for vaccines to stop

the carnage

like the artists fight with their

pencils/brushes/pens/sculptures

and their installations

for the expression of freedom

in the arts –

december –

the landscape a big grey gesso

painted canvas

upon which the colours of

love’s fiery compositions

will stand out proud

emotional outbursts

light up the lead-grey day

with sparks of

ingenuity.

love/amour/amore/szerelem

there’s not much needed to

brighten-up a canvas

to lighten up the path ahead

for our souls.
