I
We aren’t letting anyone
among us
be another Aylan;
floral glade is our mission
II
I let my life
melt into colors, poems and songs.
It’s a new year’s resolution.
III
A nestful of promise,
needs warmth,
to shower a skyful of peace.
A Michaela Sagatova Creation
IV
I gaze Agape
at the artwork in motion
with the Artist
in the guise of exhibition
V
In the autumn forest,
I’m a hidden dream.
I will manifest,
Come spring.
By Shay Davis
VI
I see the Ark
coming down from a heart
to follow the ancient path
towards Life.
VII
When beauty gushes forth
From the fountain within
I cry out Lo and Behold!

Such a colourful, joyous, delightful post!
A beautiful read.
A lovely collection…I especially like numbers 7 & 8…variety is nice and each one says so much.
Impressive, Sumana. Each one uplifts its accompanying image wonderfully. ❤
Kudos to you for the burst of poetic fervor, for the blessed need to shower all eight images of hope & rebirth with your words, your heartfelt projections, tossing white dove feathers into the slow moving tar-slide of Trumpian dystopia that is moving inexorably toward our times, our minds, our lives.
I like #2 & the lines /I let my life/melt into colors, poems & songs/. Hear, hear!!
This is like walking into an exhibition… each picture complemented by your wonderful writing… I feel great hope in your words.
At a dark time of the year, your words give such hope and inspiration. I love them all, such a great collection of inspirating verse, but II spoke to me and lifted my heart.
WOW, all the pictures are wondrously described. The last one stirs my soul very much ~
Thanks for joining us Sumana ~
This was amazing, you used all the artwork and the pairing of your words is inspirational. Verses II and IV spoke to me the most, but all are lovely.
Yes, it is like walking through a gallery of hope
Beautiful! You rocked the prompt, Sumana! I like the way each of these seems to have it’s own style and voice, just like the artwork. Thank you for honoring each of these artists with your beautiful words.
What a beautiful New Year’s resolution, Sumana 🙂

with a crescent-faith reflecting you
to begin my sail
towards Thou.” ~ ❤

That’s most remarkable Sumana! You’ve bravely included all of the paintings on offer and came off them with brilliance!

Love that you were inspired be each one of these glorious paintings. I especially love iii.
What a wonderful collection of verse you have here. You and I had similar thoughts with V. I love VII. Wow X 8!
