Riding the currents
sleeping through storms
treading water in the dark

sparks of harmonics
fly from my pen

The painting is called “Three Seascapes” and thanks for the wonderful comment Nathan. There’s a certain tangible alchemy pairing art with verse… creating a third language.

‘Riding the currents, sleeping through storms, treading water in the dark,’ love all of this poem Jana,and also the painting by Turner, one of my favourite artists. Forgive me for not reading all of your posts, just finding time to catch up but always grateful for the inspiration.

So good to see you here…. I know of your affinity with the sea, its own rhythms, its breadth. Turner’s work moves me too. Thanks Teri…!
