Poetry and Art

Os Viajantes

Traduzido de English
Imagem do post 1

Dois passam, invisíveis para a maioria.

Dois se unem e viajam sobre um suave tapete de seda.

As menores formas em um rio de nada.

Ainda sem movimento, sem ritmo e sem padrão.

Mas algo acontece quando entram no tapete.

Formas de padrões começam a surgir. Ondulações de uma cadeia longa e persistente evoluem.

Antes, não havia nada para mostrar que eles estiveram lá. Agora, um caminho é deixado.

O tapete marca sua jornada e a luz e as sombras ganham vida.

Nós também passamos e, em nossa jornada, deixamos um padrão, uma marca e uma história.

As menores formas em uma paisagem infinitamente vasta.

Deixamos um desenho, um padrão de uma vida, e nada é mais o mesmo.

I love the study in both mediums. A beautiful combination of words and image.

Thanks I appreciate your thoughts

The way you describe two travelers bound together on a "soft blanket of silk" — creating ripples and patterns from stillness — really captures how connection transforms even the quietest moments into something lasting.

Thank you Bill. I looked on your site but I didn't see any art or photography. I hope you don't mind me asking but are you a consultant with ASF? Thanks for any insight. Best, Len

The abstraction of the water creates such rhythm despite "no movement, no rhythm and no design." Beautiful pairing of image and words.

Thank you April. Steven Maranto , really had a good idea of combining words with the art to tell a story. It actually helps other people to connect with our art. I created a category on my website called "Poetry and Art" to do just that in communicating a little deeper about the story behind it.

Love it.. but it took me a minute to see the swans.. lol..I was reading it and I keep thinking where are the two..??? but then I finally noticed the small swans.. very nice piece and poem.. just a question, did you just make this poem up recently... noticed the piece was from '13...you must have quite a bit of work completed, Len...how long have you been at this? Just curious, and is this your only thing now? I worked for many many years with our family business. an Italian bakery in Baltimore.. Four generations of hard damn work... Just have been able to paint last 5 years or so.. ..so I would say semi-retired.. still have to bring in a few duckets here and there.. "the poetry man"

Hey Steve, I actually just wrote it when I posted the image. I got back into my fine art at 51 and just hit 69 this past February 17, 2026! So no spring chicken here! It's full time for me now. I have roommates who pay me rent (I own a 1 BR in Upper Manhattan) An Italian bakery would have wiped me out with chocolate biscotti and cannoli's! You inspired me to start a category of "Poetry & Art" on my website and start doing this for my pieces. Thanks!

Yeah Len no problem. Should have emphasized "bread" only bakery. By the time I got there it was and still is fairly automated.. but always worked with a crew of people to bake in large rotating hearth ovens and throw large hunks of dough into machines..what a process...but left a while ago and the business is now in other hands.. But I am starting think I will need a website as well.. I have that in the back of my mind.. seems that's where it stays most of the time... and believe me you would not get fat eating bread and working in a hot bakery all day.. lol ...the heat was oppressive int the summer months..at some point it just becomes a battle of mind over matter.. Steve.. oh I am 57 so not that young either...

The good thing Steve about art, is as we get older we get better at masterimg our craft. i think Georgia O Keeffe was making art till like 96 or so. There is some time left for us still!
