Charcoal and pastel on mylar in vintage frame.
Written in about two hours, after waking with a head full of words. Please forgive the rawness, and the serious tone of this piece. The butterfly should teach lightheartedness and joy, and it did. The powerful and ethereal experience of the butterfly encounter two weeks ago in Ireland only took a moment, but changed my outlook on everything. So, I think it deserves a bit of weight in the telling.  Feileacan na Péacóige On Finding an Irish Peacock Butterfly on Croagh Patrick (for Steve) A fourth journey to Erin My love as guide Threading the needle of existence Grace found On Maigh Eo's ancient sacred mountain of Celt and Christian Rough stone path of pilgrim hardship Nature turning tides at our feet Stark splendor Set soul and spirit free Sun Moon Fire Lightening Wind Sea Earth Rock On ascent in the mystical place Overhead, a breathtaking Breathing Scarlet - violet rainbow Seasons of impending joy announced by Frail and fragile fairy dust wings Psyche Begging a dance She pauses to drive the thought home Perfectly still Beauty Sits for a time Why? To meditate on sun warmed rock - The creature's only embrace? Or simply trusting Accepting in faith The spirit capture On descent Changed As travel inevitably will Filled up and overflowing To contemplate Our dream awake muse Celebration of coming home Unknowing New life unfurling We pause to warm ourselves In a lover's embrace On stone In brilliant sun Breaking through cloud (c) Alice McMahon White 2008 |

 reports, 1d 1h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
