"I cannot soften the cosmos,
The rabid, the aggrieved, the infuriated.
But I can wrap you in gentleness
Erase, maybe, the bloody stains
Of post-Eden dystopia
Create, maybe, a dollop of joy
A teaspoon
Of stainless ecstasy
In a world
That eradicates
Delight."
"Earth will eventually exit the sky.
Earth has a use-by date
Not I."
"I was born old
You were born young
Our life of entwinement
Barely begun.
I yearn to find
That ancient shore
Where the unborn wait
And the oldborn snore
And the kiss of infinity
Promises more."
"Float in the wind
Of Simply Being
Without being
What others
Demand."
"Dare to BE
Crush the impossible
Grab the incredible
Own the phenomenal
Fairy-tale whimsical
Phantasmagorical
Rare and remarkable
One-of-a-kindable
You."
"We can make our shared corner of the world
A corner of shared intimacy.
It might even be catching.
It might make the butterfly
Of caring
Flap its wings
Across the ocean
Of disregard."
"I am a polyglot
I speak ancient languages
Of hope and joy
Compassion and love.
The language of orchids
Cries out to me
The voices of earthworms
Whisper to me."
"Aging women have been forced
To occupy less space
Lest they spread truth
On our fragile toast
ed
Myths."
"The oceans are allowed to roar
Why not I?
But then, if I had two billion years
Of wrinkles and tears
I would roar
2".
"No one can own me
Rent me
Contain
Or restrain me.
Irrepressible
Exuberant
Buoyant
Rhapsodical
Ineluctable
Inevitable
Krepildockerschpe
Me."
These quotes come from Whitaker's books of digital paintings and poetry, available on amazon.com.
