Winter Solstice - Art & Time Project

by Tracie Koziura

Completion
Deep in the recesses of an unexplored mind
Live the fears of deprivation and pain
The passion and pleasure of reckless abandon
Unleashed and cruel, it tightens the chain

Hidden from the worlds judgemental eyes
Inhibitions are stripped to the core
Mercilessly forced to submissive violation
resistance is broken, emotions raw

Control relinquished, energies surging
New life rushing towards a dying soul
Finally the gasp of inner connection
Protection divine from a spirit, now whole

The gift of completion can only be laid
when the voice of retribution goes unheard
and beneath the roar of fallen demons
lies the understanding that speaks without words

Eternal, forever, the bond of acceptance
a deeper knowledge held in a tear
a union of souls amidst the parting of bodies
a place of tranquility, at last, free from fear

The inside scoop!

Back in 2011, The Artist In You challenged folks to post their Art and engaged Poets from around the world to 'mash up' their words of art to translate how each work made them feel! Synergy of thought and creative process engaged hundreds of thousands to view, like and participate. 'The Ultimate Collection' (working title) Art and Poetry book series mission was born! Have you seen the video yet?

For those who love poetry! For those who love art! For those who still love the feel of a big coffee table sized book, to visit, peruse, enjoy each day...we are so excited to present our first intended publication "Art and Time"! Renowned and Burgeoning artists have created an opportunity, a visual keepsake presentation, that erases all imaginary lines, engages, explores, and substantiates our mission statement: Inspiring Change With Every Brush Stroke!

How you can help

Through Kickstarter, our goal is to receive pledges for at least $5,000 by Sunday May 20th 2012. When this goal is reached, we will be able to begin producing the first in the series of "Art and Time" books - unique collaborations between artists and poets.

The proceeds from the sale of these innovative Coffee Table Books will be donated to support after school Art Programs for kids of all ages!
