Dancing Through the Doors to My Soul
by Charlene Potter
Dancing Through the Doors to My Soul,
I see the sun, the moon, the stars, the water, and the earthen soil.
I dance to the East door,
and I see red leaves, brown branches, and yellow green grass.
I dance around the door that faces West, and I see shades of blacks and blues of the night, and the shadowy light of the moon.
I dance towards the North Door,
and I see a dark blue tree against
a background of silvery blue snow.
I dance around my soul of cream and light green,
and dance on towards the door that faces South.
Here I see the colors of gray and white with a lone Eagle peering down on the footprints of the Polar Bear.
Open all the doors to my soul so that I may see the magnificence of the natural world that surrounds me.
I will be teaching art classes at the Benson Community Center beginning January 2012. For detailed information go to my blog. Contact me soon with preregistration. Thanks

Night Rhythms of the Earth
by Charlene Potter
Night Rhythms of the Earth I feel you.
I hear you purr, or the oceans roar.
You lull me into sleep as I sway side to side.
You pull me into dreams,
with the Rhythmic beat of your heart.
I find peace in your beauty.
And, I rest in the comfort of your Rhythms.
