The Soul Aware, by Portly Bard

Poetry Buddha, by Lorette C. Luzajic (Canada) 2022

The Soul Aware

On poet's palette daubed and blurred
are sense and colour, thought and word
where time recast and dreams foreseen
collide as moments intervene

disrupting patience being trained
to be the faith of love sustained
that seeks the wisdom to convey
discovered truth in disarray

that dares the brush or pen in hand
to be the will at its command
and leave for all the world to see
the glimmer of a spirit free

in art bestilled to reconvene
the soul aware of what to glean.

Portly Bard

Three years ago today, the ekphrastic collaboration between Portly Bard and Lorette was released, Thinking Inside the Box. ​Click here to get a copy on Amazon. Digital copies are available free to anyone by download, below.

Portly Bard: Prefers to craft with sole intent...
of verse becoming complement...
...and by such homage being lent...
ideally also compliment.

Ekphrastic joy comes not from praise
for words but from returning gaze
far more aware of fortune art
becomes to eyes that fathom heart.
