Here is a poem with pictures to go with each line.....a poem-book - which was a gift from me to my husband for our seventeenth wedding anniversary....
This is a maiden attempt by me in doing something of this sort and my attempt to paint something like abstract - to express my deepest feelings through two mediums simultaneously (poetry and art).....after being "schooled" to paint "realistic"paintings -learning painting and drawing from an art master who came home to teach my sister and me when we were in school (which was eons ago!)...I finally managed to break free from those rigid boundaries that confined parts of me.....and strange are the ways of the Universe when I see how I managed to paint all these over a day and a half, after more than 25 years, and my husband managed to break free too in his own way and write poetry for the first time this time!....I for one attribute this to the wonderful journey of unschooling that has opened our minds and hearts to look beyond everything that we see, in faith and love....
IN FAITH AND LOVE

IN FAITH AND LOVE
Like a tiny, vibrant sliver of light
Sets shadows afire; infuses life…
Like a tireless wave stretches its arms
To caress the endless, sleeping shore…
Like a drop of rain falls to the earth
That yearns in silence, beckoning below…
Like a river waits with quiet intent
To engulf the vast, unstoppable sea…
Like a young shoot, inspired to grow
Finds its way out, while taking
root…
Like a wandering cloud upon the sky
Surrenders to the wind, in tow…
Our hearts and souls - entwined forever,
To look beyond, in faith and love.
