The Season of Harvest

Autumn
12" x 12" in. mixed media on canvas

~

These days spent
in silence
lift me from
the Monotony Train

As I sigh in
the breeze crossing
the landscape of my skin,
a reminder of Winter
yet to come
But I remain
in my closeted world
of sentient trees
and intuitive wind,
chasing colors
that glow
brighter every day:

Autumn.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

- Isaac Asimov

"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty."
