Mixed media painting: Mask, collage and lace 24" x 24" One of the forty ally mask paintings in progress inspired by forty original totem animal allies poems Ally Of The Dreamtime VI Playing with the breeze Your fragile wings dance Fluttering without a sound Ephemeral loveliness manifest after ordeal You harbinger of blossoms and spring Alighting for the briefest moment On leaf or bud to suckle Sweet nectar your due You mimic the wings of faeries Reminder of grace and whimsy After a season held captive In a cocoon of transformation Melted down to your essential need to fly Your tribe gathers Covering whole walls In a swarm of desire Sweet wingéd messenger You are not just a simple pleasure Meant to delight and entertain Pretty and meaningless No, not you my guide You are a gentle beacon of beauty A reminder of strength in adversity And the everlasting truth of the soul 29NOV14 TASH ©
