• poor little fishes

    poor little fishes in the sea
    what become of you
    what become of me

    in my heart
    life start
    startled by the crashing wave

    we remain
    today is near
    i love you dearly

    in obedience i may cherish
    she’s the only one just her
    civil disobedience never cross her
    with grimace and censor

    calm midnight blue
    sigh the night away
    paint is a great cooperating
    wisdom

    tumbleweed
    dusty pink sand in yr boot
    where am i when you are mute

    mutual hearts say it all
    spring into summer
    from a fall to winters frozen frail
    winter babies all
    i love you most of all.

  • in the twinkle of a starry night

    in the twinkle of a starry night the
    hurt felt bones receive an ocean depth
    that wept in stream of tears sweet as
    baby’s breath

    immaculate amulet will you accept
    a stone skip a summer set morn

    cornucopia, the dawn
    a verse to believe in the Lord
    hale the wail that scale the wall
    i try she cry they die and why?
    that never meant to cause you pain

    a dream of self the me
    exclaim the fiery flame
    she may never be the same
    eyes fill with rain
    adapt dark night conceive the light
    believe
    faraway green a theme of horses free
    instill me their imagery
    a brush with paint
    pursue a Saint
    His laughter of virility

    the distant miles
    where are you
    empowered flower 🌹 in the Spring to spring in Springs and sing to the bees and the birds ever forever in thought to inscribe

    this wish become the mist so missed
    the miss throws fits
    her mind is blown to bits she grieve without her wits
    to write the like of writs
    like this brisk wish in
    star filled sky

    her beautiful mind
    aligned starshine bright
    her kindness sublime
    day and night.

  • i adore the Earth

    i adore the Earth my home
    a place to call my own
    the river bend and moan
    the ocean white with foam

    i hear a bird at dawn
    she sing a lovely song
    i see the sea is blue
    the horizon and Heavens too

    i see a sea of sky
    that fill her gray blue eyes
    in hope there is a prayer
    for God to always be there

    will you see me someday
    where we may work and play
    i pray for you to be okay
    my heart is full and gay

    i long to see you smile
    across the cloudy miles
    i fear it’s but a dream
    to have a world for my girl and me

    don’t worry baby blue
    for i remember you
    my messenger my guide
    my starry night your moon won’t cry.

    amen.

  • gallop apace

    artist’s statement:
    horse show is a gathering of sketches in pastel charcoal acrylic paint on canvas that represent form and line in the shape of the horse.
    there is a connection that i find with the horse and mysticism that cover the world terrain in sunshine and in rain the blissful and the pain, an archetypal picturesque painterly quest drawn from night till dawn
    a heavenly bequest.
    please take a moment now to look beyond the plow, sincerely i am freed by painting every steed. part of my private collection.
    best wishes,
    june kaplan

  • blow wind blow

    blind wind blow snow pack punch timid time reject be gone leave eave the roost farewell warmth’s habitual memory static fantastic temperature plunge redundant duties done to sleep in shadow shade
    fade a sinking sun
    bliss kiss the risk of mist revert redeem
    the evergreen hid amid a sleeve of sheen

    angels frozen to the wing crackle to the fired wick quick as moths to a flame as do i to hear your name sweet refrain branch upon window pane fields wheat as sweet as grain flourish across the dewy plain in sunshine and in rain

    whistle of a train rail through hill and dale
    moonlight bright or pale blue sky and windy gale i feel for the ones i fail from my
    powerless jail

    time capsize my mind the need to be as free tender as a tree restless as the sea
    when i was young and 23.

  • in winter

    in wake of ocean depth blue sky
    upon water cry tears of rain from heaven
    the benevolent good stood to understand an understated favor fated by the greater sweeping of His hand elated beaming moon lit night stars bright kiss the dark invite the dawn to come along in swirling storm a surly sea born the fathoms sanctity the sun subdued a grayest hue replaces you but black and cloudy doubtful day recede to grieve the bay it seem time lost in rhyme stir the spray undercurrent play overtures the pounding surf suck the surface of turf hurl a world away, seagull dive to stay alive finding fish that way fly distant reaches geese go in a row to warmer beaches-above the horizon shining in moon glow shimmer golden
    glimmer snow in winter.

  • first snow

    first snow
    light dance in the aftermath
    a curious stance
    we thank
    the Gods
    for
    words music paint
    faith in fate

    glamorous engagement await
    butterflies sleep through winter
    bird take flight from everything
    emancipate her broken wing
    heal with song to sing
    a chorus hark
    eyes sparkle spark
    an angel dark

    ocean depth breezes swept
    the sparrow leave her nest
    a work of art writ from the heart always at her best
    the question of the quest
    a guest a natural transition
    transcend complete the cycle
    nature is her bible
    she love her work the animals in the wood
    across the landscape her cathedral.
