Art and Yoga
Awake
in an image dream
the cerulean blue sky
cracks hair-lines
letting whispers of ancient rules
speak to my surprise.
Fat over lean
i’d heard
say.
But scumble on over
the new water based oils
had said in pinks inside
bright teals
set in green-blue shades of
longing.
What
did I know?
I’d breathed the truth
and wanted to push it into
pigment.
Layered layers.
With peek-a-boo ridges
of the past.
Colors
who’d laid down their
binders for me.
I didn’t know
that
was my edge
I’d followed and fallen down
from.
Though
I do now.
Those hairline cracks upon my canvas
and that curling rising ridge
upon my edge
are
smiling at me now.
I don’t know
why.
But that’s ok.
It’s art I am I’m making.

Amazing the power these older posts have bringing me back memories I still cherish ☺️
Final Thoughts
for me, even when it flows, i still feel the effort of con-joining the art forms –
though, with practice, it has become easier at times
and “usually” quite satisfying 🙂

have you found it easy, or difficult, to express another arts activity in words? 😊
let me me know if you can, thanks!

It’s art I am I’m making… always wondering if we really make art or if we just allow to flood what is in us to flood on the surface..a gentle rhythm to this..meditative..

good question! maybe what we’re “creating” is that which is allowing the “flood what is in us to flood on the surface”
thanks so much claudia, ‘preciate you caught the intended gentleness 😉

There’s a sense of breath flowing through here, the ebb and wane – and my first thought on reading with the title in mind (usually a second read for me, as I like to start with what the poem itself has to say) was “yeah, the art of yoga ~ the yoga of art.” Nicely done.

thanks ruth, i really appreciate the reading, i do try and get a rhythm of an ebb and flow; almost force of habit from years of running, playing a wind instrument, and even, yes, yoga 😉
before i “grounded” this concept from doing breathing in yoga, i’d been “seeing” it in me when i ran, as in an older poem of mine from the early 90s, “cross country“

thanks so much zumwalt 😉
i like the description of a good poem on your site – “The most important requirement of any poem is that it ends before the reader goes on to something else.” – pretty good!
you have material dating back to the 70’s also, that’s fantastic; some of those about relationships (male/female) seem particularly interesting http://zumpoems.com/2011/09/02/the-last-party-trivial-pursuit/
thanks again 😉
