I was inspired by this art and thought I might share it, so here is my meager interpretation that I call “the Sweet Dance of Solitude”
The Sweet Dance of Solitide
by Sevenamagenta
inspired by art by gT Beck
skin stretches and bodies groove
defying the laws of physics
with the sweet dance of solitude
smoothing the rough edges
that the world has gouged
into breaking backs
like water over the jagged stones
along the water’s edge
each movement beats back epic worries
endorphins bring cumulus clouds of clarity
that wash the day’s madness away
peaceful expression
found in graceful step and sway
~
Now, let’s get poetic! What does this art inspire in you?

“Untitled” by gT Beck
ASCENT INTO MORNING
Dancers of morning,
dancers of light,
their upward climb
captivating my sight
as spiraling,
circling
ever higher
and higher,
they ascend toward the sun
embracing the morning,
and translucent
in their flight.
And with their dance
of morning’s first light,
my imagination
soars with them,
unlocked once again,
as they take my hand
and my very willing heart
as we dance together
through the day
and into the night.

Love Ya Todd!!!!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
for a friend to a friend
Finally after 7 times to get on here… It keeps logging me off when I get on blogs…
Everyone needs a lift when they’re down
When their life seems to be sinking
And feel as if they’re going to drown
So lost and feel as if shrinking
A helping hand to pull them through
Is what they need from sinking deep
Along with love will chase their blue
Helping them take a great big leap
Out of the dark and into the light
With hope and better days ahead
And a future looking very bright
Encouragement fed in their head

All wonderful poems to Bump’s art piece! :love:
In my world my mind swirls around.
I’m caught up in the tides about to drown.
Here I am finding me only with a frown.
Hues of blues my broken down queen crown.
My life like the colors of this artist .
My soul drifting searching for absolution .
My mind going insane with this wait of nothing in the horizon .
My heart no longer knows how to play.
You can see the sorrow on my face.
In this life I never new my place.
I just ran with the rat race.
I lost my self along the way.
I started drifting in blues and grays.
I am left here alone in this world trying to find my way out of depression .
A blue cocoon I’m sheltered in.
Waiting for the day my heart will win.
THE NEVER ENDING CIRCLE
The circle of life
Goes round and round
Not flat like most did think
Over and over in different trend
The world is not
All black and white
Colors of all thing people and beings
The world is a beautiful place for open eyes to see
Round and round we go
Over and over till the end of time
Time waits for no one it spins on and on
The circle of life goes round and round far and near
Swirl my little colors
Over and around round you go
Never flat nor fade just circle to circle
End to end no brakes round and round and over and over the circle of life did go
