Captives

July 3, 2009 7:41 pm

Forgive us Lord, this transgression

We of little imagination

Lost in the night of pace

Alone in the market place

Permit us to see the fire

In the desert a pillar

To free our creativity

From industrial captivity

The first born were not enough

Confused, their very lives are snuffed

Standing on the other side

Watching our captors, swallowed alive

O glorious day

We do celebrate

But how soon we forget the task at hand

Is a journey to the Promised Land

Brave artist tends gardens and relationships…

Gloria and me

I met Gloria a few years ago, and I immediately knew she was special. My first instinct was to work an angle to capture her on film somehow, thankfully that pursuit proved impossible and I had to settle for something much better. I don’t even feel quite right about trying to describe her at all anymore.

Some have discovered her art and poetry, but only a few will have the privilege to walk in her garden.
