At the Feast in the Great Hall - I A bird flew through the candlelight above the voices and the jangling harp, window to window, through and gone — So our life, the harper sang, a moment between dark and dark. 🕊 #poem excerpt: Ursula Le Guin #art Bradford Fuller #resist

Weightless clouds & airy rain drift over a lower, slower weather in the world I watch you, my volcano, through the depths of sunlit air, & see you snowy-flanked breathing your lazy steam-plume south, yourself a vapor drifting, a bright veil of stone. #poem excerpt: Ursula Le Guin #art Dana Hunter

With thick strokes of ink the sky fills with rain. Pretending to run for cover but secretly praying for more rain. The sky is a bowl of dark water, rinsing your face. I am a dark bowl, waiting to be filled. I am the rain. #poem excerpt: Kazim Ali #art David Hockney #resist

dear friends — I love you. Thank you for the love you make, for the hands held out one to another, words & worlds shared, across this our silent beautifully singing air. 💙✨️ #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Susan Napper-LeDuc #HappyValentinesDay

War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off.

moonrise at sunset -- the storyteller enters the story #UnknownFairyTales #haiku

Love in the open hand, no thing but that, Ungemmed, unhidden, wishing not to hurt, As one should bring you cowslips in a hat Swung from the hand, or apples in her skirt, I bring you, calling out as children do: "Look what I have!—And these are all for you." #poem excerpt Millay #art Gudrun Sjödén

In this, our reality, the unbearable, the Unreality is LIES. So very many lies. The weight of them bears on the heart, the lungs till collapse seems only relief. Let us name what we see: Dept of War Crimes Dept of InJustice Traitor In Chief. Children not protected but prey. We can only #resist.

But we're all walking in the night, now, on ground we don't know. When the day comes we may know where we are, or we may not.

There is no story behind it. It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It is pinned down to no past. It's a pun on the present. It's a butterfly. it opens before it closes and it closes before it o where is it? 🦋 #poem excerpt: Arun Kolatkar #art Waiting for Sunshine: Petar Sabol

For #promptcombo, #ecstasy interpreted differently.

In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. ☀️🌿 #poem John Keats #art Kitipong Maksin #resist

I'll love you, dear, I'll love you Till China & Africa meet, And the river jumps over the mountain And the salmon sing in the street, I'll love you till the ocean Is folded & hung up to dry And the seven stars go squawking Like geese about the sky. 🦈 #poem excerpt: W.H. Auden #art Wanda #resist

Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life: Bright the hawk's flight On the empty sky.

If I were an angel & lost in the sun, You would be there, & you would be one. Birds that flew high would find us & sing Gladder to find us than for anything, & clouds would be proud of us, light everywhere clothe us gold gaily, for dear & for fair. #poem excerpt: V.R. Lang #art ampyra #resist

homage to my hips these hips are big hips they need space to move around in. they don't fit into little petty places. these hips are free hips. they don't like to be held back. these hips have never been enslaved, they go where they want to go they do what they want to do. #poem 1/2
