In an instant…
Through the wall we travel
into the chamber of creative vision
to be lost in a dream
Where one travels deiseil
along the spiraling Pachisi board
of rainbow colored tiles
Pawns of the Emperor
from whose omnipresent view
and casting of shells
Our every move becomes
a mechanical extension
driven by will and pleasure
And then…
We ascend above it all
rising into freedom once again
reveling in it’s beauty
Allowing the flow
of shapes and colors
to be free again as well.
Artist ~ Peter Woko

Living Long After

Living Long AfterIn the once fertile fields
wherein we toiled

there is retained a memory

that we are but spokes
in the wheel of Life

whose energy will remain
far beyond purpose here

Artwork – Jennifer Ravsten / Poem – Charlie Riverman Bergeron 6-7-11
Synergy 14 ~ Love

There are times when I write and just don’t have an idea that seems to be fitting to showcase the words; when this occurs I usually place them in a folder named Musings or Unfinished Work. They become a part of a collection that doesn’t get read or seen and so their energy is not dispersed, the seeds that are left on the shelf.

This verse is an example which has now been transformed by Jennifer Ravsten who started a Facebook page ~ஐ~Artworks~ஐ~….The purpose and hope of this page is to promote all artistic forms, to feature artists and give them a place to discuss their individual talents. We want only original music, art, writing, video and any other creative medium available to shine on this page. It is for Creative Minds At Work!

I have created many times in response to another poet’s work and or taken pictures, artwork, or videos and placed with my own as inspirations which work both ways. This is the first time where it has been an intentional collaboration and I am looking forward to more.

Thank you Jennifer!

Let’s think of ourselves as collapsing stars as we start each day. 

Let us set out to rearrange everything we have come to understand.
Let each of us create a new universe and weave galaxies of Love.

Neon Rhododendron – Charlie Riverman Bergeron 6/4/11
As the setting Sun
filters through
nearby trees
this neon brilliance
catches my eye
A passionate encounter
In which
you reach out
to hold the light
for just
one more moment
I hold my breath watching
Knowing you will
become still in the breeze
and capture your beloved
evening embrace
before the shadows
surround you for the night

Wildflowers, York, ME – Photo and Verse – Charlie Riverman Bergeron 5/28/11
Walking each day
through the density
that surrounds
the ever-changing mind
Looking for moments
that lift us
and fill us
with newness
There you were
silently waving
in soft gentle breaths
Praising the light
in which the shadows dance.
This photograph and the verse it inspired is a tribute to Peter Shefler.  Thank you Peter for all  your marvelous contributions to this world through your creations. Your touching of hearts and minds through your passion is such a gift to us all.

Blossoms
hundreds of years
season upon season 
roots planted firmly
many have come
a few have noticed
one has exalted me to the heavens
and keeps me warm in his heart
it is for you my
blossoms dance in the slight breeze
promising you a taste of their labors

This Photograph by George Risho Robertson, London UK
was the inspiration for the verse. Thank you George for allowing me to share your wonderful work.
Silent CommunionFor to be found
within your awareness
nestled among
the shadows of lightbeams
illuminating
the delicate structure
of my inner presence
has given new life
to our silent communion

Message from Charlie H
May 21,2011

 

when we know it is our time to leave
we will give back all that we have been given
and return to our original presence
knowing that we have been in the garden

received by crb  5/21/11

Today a loving husband, father, grandfather and amazing human being left this world after a 10 month journey of having a brain tumor.  The memories he has left behind will continue to be a part of this world, for his presence and laughter will not be soon forgotten.I sat here at my computer tonight having returned from visiting his beloved wife of 50+ years

and as I usually do before I write my musings I humbly ask for those who want to speak through me to guide me in my writings.I placed my fingers on the keyboard and started to type out the beginning of a verse and my fingers were soon deleting what I had written and the above message was typed just as it appears, no editing, no misspelling, no hesitation or pausing to think about it.

Thank You Charlie, glad you made it home!
