Great Forces

Michael Edwards

 

 

GREAT FORCES

 

Technological

Economic

Political.

 

 

Sometimes distant

consequential

or random

great forces

can change

our world

as waves

flow relentlessly

influenced

by tides

cresting

with morality

and heritage

often looted

or drowned

in generating

embracing

inspiring

and emerging

on beaches

of enjoyment

innovation

and progress

reshaping

our world.

    Good write. Love the painting. How is the open weekend going?

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks G - bit slow to start yesterday but picked up during the day and a couple of sales plus a couple of potential commissions. for me though, more importantly, are the comments and appreciation of what I do. I have paintings from abstract through to traditional watercolours, coastal sculptures, volumes of cartoons, and volumes of poetry all on display.

      I try not to crowd visitors and having welcomed them I leave the studio to allow them to browse at leisure - and its telling how long they spend there which is a good measure of their interest.

      Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love all your poems and love the visual. As I read your Poem the picture morphed into a "soft art" version of the BIG BANG form whence all forces in the Universe emanate ! So much we don't fully comprehend ~ like GRAVITY ~ but we sure experience it ~especially the first time we fell off a HORSE when it spooked at a tripple ! Please check my MONOLITTURA SONNET ! BRIAN

        Thanks Brian - your kind comments are so much appreciated.

        Your painting looks like a dream . Or a conversation with God . Great forces are universal and not centered in our solar system but extend ten to the infinite , times eternity .

        This is very good Michael
