because I was a leaf
riding a stream of moments
to the sea
resistance was futile
time had run out
except for one day
enough for paint to dry
before the flight
one more was possible
just one more

Just One More. 18×14″. Acrylic on paper on panel.
Painting and poem by clinock.
This painting has real soul John….deep with feeling. Love it! The poem is a bonus. Thank you.
I appreciate your always positive comments Robert, thank you
Rather sad but haunting! I like the way it is framed within a frame. I tend to think you enjoyed that “just one more” while your muse was still with you.
Actually Jo Nell, the only sadness really was leaving Mexico where I had spent a large part of last winter painting this ‘faz’ series, hence the reference in the poem to the flight. I had one day to pack and to paint one more piece. This one is it. It is the last of my 2015 paintings from San Miguel.
Wonderful painting and words xxx
Thanks so much Ina (I like your new photo) xxx
Resistance to this series is futile. Stunning work John. Love the poem.
Coming from you Mark, a writer I admire so much, your words mean a lot to me, thank you…
Really love this one, John. And that feeling of “just one more” thing to express, to create, to get out of you–glad you were swept away to produce one more.
ah billimarie, you know of what you speak, thank you…good to hear from you again…
