Caviar for the Mind

"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.
