‘The Nature of Relationship’ Gallery 

at Out of the Woods Winery!

This is the second collaborative poetry and art exhibit event where Poets were invited to submit poems for consideration, and Artists were invited to create a visual piece inspired by a poem. The opening will feature original poetry from local poets, matched with a visual interpretation of the poems by local artists

 

Valhalla

Last time I was here the leaves were green on their way to paradise

Today, hiking alone walking your memory I glimpse two shadows

Two months ago a 26-year-log-sitting friendship brothers by choice

Whispering fears laughing missteps weeping heart break

Awing God drinking beauty grateful

Honoring wives and children holding accountable forgiving

A trail in the woods ever before us walking sticks in hand

The next day you fell forever an exhale in my world

Hills and trees have moved on toward winter covering the earth with musty residue

Today I traverse a brown blanket of decay in remembrance in anticipation
