Summer

“Summer” by Todd Powelson

I’m so pleased to have finally finished the artwork above, called “Summer”. I worked on this artwork pretty much everyday these last few months, and there were times I never thought I’d finish… but here it is, and I still love to look at it! I don’t know why I feel the need to draw and paint these pictures, but I do, so I do. And I’m so glad I did, because this looks great

When I meditate, Dragons sometimes come to visit me, and they’ve come to represent or symbolize many different things for me. Sometimes they’re a cosmic force, sometimes they are the wild places, sometimes they’re civilization, or our collective human mind, and sometimes they are something else entirely. All I know is you can’t really pin their chaos down.

Summer

Out from the forest
To great cities of glass and steel.
Self important reflections catch the eye in every direction.
Summer Sun burns shoulders,
Under Dragon skies.

Life is long and
Life is easy,
Selling time.

Let me show you.
Listen to me.

Under electric light and TV glow
I will show you,
As birds tickle your vision and fly out of sight.

Through the metal and crash
I will tell you,
As the wind sits between each burnt blade of grass.

I will lead you
Over hot asphalt shores.
I will guide you
through foreign dreams,
And sing you to sleep.

You say “thou shall”
But I don’t believe.

I Will.
