Description
Glowing Wings of Freedom 2023 with and without text are the second and third mixed media painting editions of my 2017 artwork titled Glowing Bird of Midnight Love. The original work featured a quote from the book VISIONS OF A SKYLARK DRESSED IN BLACK. The quote for the 2023 text edition comes from the book THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS. As seen below, it is part of a poem titled “Angel of Hope’s Persistent Flight.” The poem was first written as a chain of haiku to commemorate Barack Obama’s historic election to the U.S. Presidency. It is shared with this 2023 creation to commemorate the first year anniversary of the people Ukraine’s valiant battle to remain an independent sovereign democratic nation. The heartbreak of millions of refugees and the economic crises which have resulted from the conflict with Russia over the past year have impacted communities around the world. But none, where this particular war is concerned, have suffered more or fought harder to preserve the values of what we call “freedom” and “democracy” than Ukrainians themselves.
Angel of Hope’s Persistent Flight
1.
Wreaths of nuclear ash
decorate civilian hearts
with unresolved blood.
Greed, crowned emperor,
rules the earth with cold disdain
for harmony’s path.
War poisons the land
like diseased minds downloaded
into bowls of tears.
Chaos, loving none
so much as itself, slurps and
spits dead souls like bones.
What is belief now?
What is faith that will not die?
What news from heaven?
2.
In midnight’s orchard
roses blossom the secrets
that heal daylight’s wounds.
Beats of broken hearts
flow waves of revelation––
open gates to strength.
Cradled in scorched arms,
a soldier’s moon keeps its vows––
shines persistent hope.
This love that God is
curves in figure eights greater
than both time and space.
Death wins nothing here,
gnawing wings that amputate––
then spread, lift up, fly.
