Music was a shelter...

Music was a shelter.

Long I hid within it.

And it protected me.

Painting was a pastime.

Color became escape.

It allowed me to run.

Poetry is a bird.

It twists in the air and

Laughs at me from the sky.

Why I play with

Words -- I can’t tell you. I guess

They are something of a cure.

I am very drawn to the simplicity of your writing (at least in the pieces I have read so far,) It's beautiful in what comes off as an effortless way, and it is a real treat for the eyes. Well put

although i love paintings..that is an art form to which i cannot run ....i can't even draw stick figures...

but i have found refuge in the other two often enough to call them family.

[Firestone Feinberg]

Oh -- I bet you could paint abstract things. And anyhow, when I started painting I also couldn't draw a thing. I'm still not great or very versatile, but I learned how to paint a good picture anyhow. I use watercolors -- they're fun and dry fast. But you have to have really good paint and really good paper. It so happens that most artists I meet who are proficient in one or two arts can also learn other forms. Creativity is creativity and composition is composition, now matter what. --David

beautiful exploration of what the artistic expressions bring to us. I can see you behind a wall of music... I can see you running inside a painting... I see, and read your words, and I thank you for sharing the cure with us. Well done sir!
