Love the artwork and the poetically insightful words

Necessary movers of our weight.
Sleepwalk through the mess.
Entire cities, like children,
Acting out for attention.

"Entire Cities, Like Children" It is excellent existentialist poem that talks about how humanity advances asleep through life, how it lives surrounded by seduction and enraptured like little children, without a true vision and a consonance with the times that are lived. I really enjoyed reading, congratulations for such good writing, @kilbride.

Nestled calm, comfortable, contented
So well aspected,
With just enough tension
To coax
growth
And perhaps evade that pleasant acceptance.
So known for wearing
Even the most brilliant, beautiful people
Into feeble
Apparitions.
Have you begun to wear so young?

Delightful piece of writing, kilbride:)

Terrific imagery in your very existential poem. I also like the way you’ve rendered your painting with its own existential quality.
