One step beyond time
on the keys of life
the beautiful music we played
when we sang
and danced
and laughed
and ran through the years
wind in our face
hair flying
carefree
no worries
no struggles
freedom
Yes…play a song for me
on the keys of life
dance backwards
and the years erase
the lines on my face
the scars on my heart
The soul becomes free
to sing like a bird
in opera tones
without constraints
a life lived simply
on the keys of life
Blessitude
Lorrie

Many blessings my friends…may you all play beautiful music on the keys of life!!
The Zentangle”esque” art started with the floating “ribbon” piano keys. They appeared in my mind, the way many words do, like a neon sign behind my eyes. I sketched the keys and the rest is history. The art was created over the past month and a half. I had a bout of insomnia a night ago and the art finished itself…and the poem flowed from my pen. Have a blessed Monday! <3 Lorrie
Love the gorgeous art and the beautifully expressed poem! 🙂 <3 <3 <3
Thank you sweet Angel! <3 <3
I forgot I scheduled this post 🙂

Lively art and words Lorrie and wonderful way to start my day. To singing, dancing and making beautiful music! 🙂
Yes, Brad!! I had a vision of you dressed in period clothing ready to dance a waltz! How strange 😉 Maybe we knew each other in another life!! <3. (Your clothes were blue)
Wow! Love the art and the words– perfect combination.
Thanks Kim! I hope all is super with you. I feel I’ve been away for a long time…will be over soon to catch up! Much love <3
Love what you see behind your eyes and especially what flows from your pen dear Lorrie! Keep it coming!
🙂 Giant smile, Andy!! Thank you…I pray for the same!! <3

Thank you Sue!! “Surrounded by harmonic energy”…is beautiful! The only time it would should prove to be a problem is when I sing!! 😉
I am sure you sing beautifully.. 🙂
WOW, Lorrie! You are really Gifted! I absolutely LOVED this. Thank you. Love, Amy
Beautiful Amy…Thank you for your kindest of words. The amazing part is I don’t feel I am doing any of it…I think Spirit moves through me with both the art and the words. I am Blessitude! Much love to you <3

Hi Cindy!! Thank you so much…I appreciate your support 😉
Words and art are both beautiful! 😄
I’m so grateful you took the time to comment! Thank you Wendy Kate <3
Your wonderful creativity reminds me of one of the greatest albums of all time Lorrie, Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life

Oh Hariod! This is one incredible association. I am humbled. Stevie Wonder is a gifted man…a blessed talent. To be compared in any way, well… I am kind of speechless! But I thank you…I thank you for our connection here…you mean a lot to me. And I loved listening to the song…his voice is so clear! 🙂 <3
A marvelous drawing, and poem to go with it. Thanks.
Thank you so much. It is my third drawing of this kind…I like this art form…I guess the “Zen” part of the name truly does describe how relaxing and the almost meditative state created while drawing it. I’m happy you stopped by! 🙂
I love your artwork Lorrie… and the flowing words have their own melody.
If music be the food of love, play on 🙂
Thank you Val!! Yes!! “The food of love!” It feels really good to marry the art with words! Hope your week is brilliant, Val! <3
I have not had the pleasure to read onw of your poems for a coiple of weeks and this was so beUtiful Lorrie. And I love the graphic. Happy new year sweet soul.
How are you Lisa? I hope to be back a bit more consistently. ..December was a tough month! I hope all is well with you and your beautiful family…that your holidays were healthy and happy. I wish you all good things in the new year! Thank you for your kind words <3
My turn for speechlessness. I love the winding keyboard, a little loop-de-loop of clarion sounds dancing across the page, a ribbon of latent order wondering just what to be next! Such playfulness does indeed erase the scars and soothe the heart.
Michael
Ah!! I love your interpretation…”a ribbon of latent order wondering just what to be next!” I get excited to think of the poem you would write!! Thank you Michael…you brought a giant smile to my face here this morning! <3
Enchanting and beautiful!
Hello my friend!! Thank you, Dennis! I hope this new year finds you healthy and happy and full of love and peace! <3
And you also.
Soo Beautiful 🙂
Thanks Neha!! I’m glad you like it 🙂
what a creative way to deal with insomnia! This is awesome. the words and your beautiful picture. you are so talented.
You are so sweet to say…but honestly…I really feel the “art” and “words” come from a divine place…I just use my hands to express it!! Thank you!!
