Two Worlds
Inner world
Inspired by democracy
compassion for oppressed
lightness of peace and hope
life fragile and precious
outer world
devastated by autocracy
darkness of war
precarious safety and health
innocent people in fear
Inner world
calm peaceful
place to create art
outer world
chaos and terror
Inner world
texture and movement of natural organic shapes
bright cheerful colors
soothing sound of grateful clouds
fragrant flowers
taste of honey
outer world
jagged geometric shapes
harsh colors
shrill sound of loud thunder
smell of rotten eggs
taste of bitterness
entrance to my apartment
welcoming oasis of joy and excitement
other apartments
more neutral
may I feel my inner beauty
may my creativity uplift the outer world
