The Lady Of The Swamp - in Grayscale

The lady of the swamp... when she breathes in,... ................ the swamp breathes out,... her sweet breath is the wind,... ............. The lady of swamp... when she moves the earth trembles... ................. and if you hear a distant drum,... it’s her heart beat thump,... ................... She is the conscience of the earth,... in her arms the earth falls asleep,... ................... and when it rains and you hear a baby cry,... the lady weeps!... ............ Poem by Ginette (C) 2010

Rufus Thomas Ink & Watercolor

"Just Because I'm Leaving, that don't mean I'm Gone!" This was a commission in memory of Rufus Thomas. I had the pleasure of meeting him on few occasions. The first time I met him was at the Olympics in Atlanta. Him and William Bell and Percy Sledge were getting ready to do a show. I was invited to the Dressing room as I was taking pictures and so forth. Mr. Thomas was sitting at his dressing table he looked at me and said "Come here and let me kiss you!" while he puckered his lips and stuck them out at me. I must have had a very perplexed look on my face, wondering how I got in that situation. He looked at me with big sparkling eyes and laughed so hard, as I inched my way to his face. He gave me a kiss smack dab on my forehead and said "What did you think, on the forehead of course!" Oh it was so funny we all laughed and I was red faced. I liked him ever since. Of course he is now in Heaven doing the Chicken Dance and Walking Dog! Love you Rufus!

Love is Blind

Love seeketh not Itself to please--- Nor for itself hath any care;--- But for another gives its ease,--- And builds a Heaven in Hells despair.--- So sang a little Clod of Clay,--- Trodden with the cattle's feet;--- But a Pebble of the brook,--- Warbled out these metres meet.--- --- Love seeketh only Self to please,--- To bind another to Its delight:--- Joys in anothers loss of ease,--- And builds a Hell in Heavens despite--- --- The Clod and the Pebble by William Blake (1757-1827)
