Orange Sunset

Hi everyone! I was feeling a bit under the weather today, so I only taught the after school keyboard class today. I'll keep this posting short and sweet. The youtube link - is in celebration of Mozart's birthday - January 27th, 1756 - Mozart Symphony #40 in G Minor, K 550 - 1. Molto Allegro
After having taken a brief walk around my neighborhood this evening, I was inspired to paint this sunset picture and write the poem below.
Nighty night. xxoo


Orange Sunset
Orange sunset
Dipping into the angry sea
What quixotic thoughts
Have you painted
Will they curve the corners of lips upward
Or leave hearts forlorn

Hungry Cat Mouse

Hola! I'm still recovering from my sleep deprived weekend, so if there are mistakes - oh well. Besides, I can barely see the computer screen anymore. Everything appears a little blurry, I'm legally blind, so it is difficult to edit my writing sometimes. Yes, I'm a blind artist. The painting I'm including in the post is a quick acrylic painting I created tonight. I'm still working on the other two paintings that I started last week. I may not get a break till Monday to finish them however. The music I've linked is: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Symphony No. 25 in G minor. Nighty night. xxoo

Hungry Cat Mouse
Hungry cat mouse
Traveling through grassy seas
Looking for something gooey to eat
Smelling the flavored water
Accepting a quenched thirst till more
Hungry cat mouse
Slinking off to plentiful shores

9/11 -

Hi Everyone, I missed the past few days of posting due to my illness. I played a gig while feeling sick Friday night, and it plunged me into Theraflu - antihistamine land. I'm way too spacey to write while medicated, so I had to take a break. I actually had a couple of nights/mornings of five to six hours of sleep - record breaking for me. I really wanted to post on 9/11 in remembrance of the suicide attacks by al-Qaeda in 2001 on the Twin Towers in New York City and on the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The poem which I'm posting I wrote in 2001 as lyrics for a song in response to the 9/11 attacks. I've recorded the music, but I've never added the lyrics. Maybe someday? I have the instrumental version of the song on my 'I Like You' CD - titled - Sleepless Dream. The illustration I created tonight. Hopefully I'll get back on track with my nightly/daily postings.
Has anyone else created or done anything in remembrance or reacting to the attacks of 9/11/2011?
Nighty night. xxoo
Mozart's Requiem is linked to this post.






Sleepless Dream

CHORUS
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Human suffering was visualized


VERSE 1
Towers crumbled, lives were lost
Many hearts were crossed
Morning skies
Drenched in flames
Evil played a vicious game
Cruel actions never justified
Peace has all but died

CHORUS
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Human suffering was visualized

BRIDGE
Cover us with arms from above
Shield us with motherly love
Vigilanties are heroes tonight
Bodies prevail the night

CHORUS
I had a sleepless dream last night
Filled with fear, filled with fright
I had a sleepless dream last night
Earthly peace has died
