What better way to start the New Year than with a muse. No resolutions to go unfulfilled. No promises un-kept. Just the beauty and comfort of a muse fulfilled.
Writer and poet, Ed Leonard, also known as Papa Ed, sent me this poem, inspired by my photo, Sun Ripened Player, award winning photo at the Hubbard Museum of the American West's Fall Exhibit 2008. I hope you enjoy his muse as much as I. Please see his sites below for more of Ed's work.
THE RED PIANOby Ed Leonard
well worn notes
from well worn books
from hand written pages
hopes and dreams in carved chest
offering embroidered treasure
dreams of a far away island
in happy dark eyes
memories of fanciful nights
with a thousand tiny lights
and worshipful days with
spirits joined
by rich melodic sounds
that sit, hang, and hold to
painted wood flute kissed with joy
hide-bound drums under heartbeat fingers
fur-edged tambourine slapping warm thighs
encircling the grand and glorious
columned and carved
upright red painted lady with
a happy fifty-two toothed smile
spirits of sounds
that bounce and flow
from happy, loving floor and walls
artist made
artist played
artist portrayed
