The Master Artist

The Master Artist

He sculpted, over a billion, living sculptures;
painted living landscapes, all over the world;
invented butterflys, elephants, and vultures;

The Island Of Sleep

The Island Of Sleep

Sleep is an enchanted island;
within  Consciousness Ocean;
a mere obstruction of dryland;
