Soul Eclipse - 30″ x 40″ mixed media on canvas

(Thanks Debbie, Terry, and Elizabeth for admiring my fancy footwork (wink) eh!)

It’s been a painful ballet. Life can sometimes be a cruel choreographer. So, once again, I stand before you naked, bruised, soul exposed, awaiting the return of the sun. And while difficult at times, I still believe that within there is much beauty left to create, to share. So despite my pain, I dance, I paint. This tear soaked canvas preserved for eternity. - TMNK

A Ghetto Ballet

I’m composing a ballet in my mind,

inspired by the beauty I pass,

confined,

yet not defined by barbed wires and concrete,

finding inspiration amongst the discarded souls I meet.

Bare feet choreographed to leap

above poverty, and continue to dance,

regardless of the pain,

regardless of the cold ,

or the hole left in my soul.

Today I composed a ghetto ballet,

It’s not finished yet.

Still dancing, alone in my mind.
