My dear friend and poetry and photography buddy Keith Alan Hamilton has created a blog to, as he says, independently publish online the art of its author ~Keith Alan Hamilton~ and other Artists. The blog’s primary goal is to make available a freely accessible and affordable medium which will provide the creative spirit greater recognition, distribution & readership over the internet.”
Keith has also created The Hamilton Gallery where he showcases the work of other artists as well (including me).
He has just surprised me with the most touching poem to accompany the photo he took when he visited my husband and me in Manhattan Beach .
Thank you my dear friend Keith for your wonderful and kind words and spectacular photograph. I couldn’t help sharing work with my readers.
when you have the realization
you are experiencing
the essence of greatness
no matter how
momentary the happening
a sense of the spiritual
emerges¦¦all in the cosmos
appears whole ~
in order
all seems right
and at peace
¦..one flash of magnificence
from the tiniest
of creation
a human
can fracture the darkness
part the gloomy sky
with the light of being
being more than yourself
not scared to let all else
know your struggle
through word
image and deed
so all else will have
that opportunity¦¦.
to find meaning and value
be able to grow and heal
all
˜cause
of your example
my ode to you
and the moment we shared
that day
on all of the 928 feet
of the Manhattan Beach Pier
