Two Friends Missed
Time, and time away
Ever has it been
Never time enough to play
Or even visit friends?
Sullied by the winds of time
Provoked and often bent
Passions played out so fine
Left an old soul nearly spent
Mayhap return, to begin anew?
Can drained rivers flow once more?
Can passions fly where once they flew-
Yet encourage peace instead of... war?
Cast about with jaundiced eye
Seeking the old reliable friends
But "Art" and "Words" did fly
Leaving him quite alone... again
And now an old man dwells
"Where to go from here"
To quench his many private hells,
To brighten horizons quite austere
And so he takes steps ever so small
Slow and tentative as a child
Quite determined once and for all
To stay and rest... for awhile...

Yes, its been a long time. Much too much has happened to relate here - and I guess I'd rather just go forward than dwell on things (mostly) outside my control.
I must confess, I've visited many of your galleries while I've been gone and they've helped to cheer me up when I needed it most. But I did not leave any comments as I knew I was unable to respond to you if you sent messages etc.
As indicated above, the twin muses of my art and writing have vanished. So I will take it slow and do a few things as I can that suit me- and visit your galleries and comment. But beyond that: I've learned my lesson, no promises, just what each day brings... And I'm very glad to be back in whatever way I can...

Edit: On re-reading the above, I found it to be needlessly mysterious. I've edited the newletter on my homepage if you want a few more details, while sparing the rest of you from boredom...

Wonderful render that brickwork is fantastic the whole scene is truly stunning
I think we've all been here a time or two. Just don't give up and they return eventually. This is a fabulous looking render, Larry. The lighting and composition are splendid! Love it.
Beautiful, thoughtful and tender, lovely poem and render!
Very classic concept. Excellent models and vegetation. You are very creative! Congratulations ...
