A Painting Of A Man Holding A Ball Over His Head Art

a painting of a woman holding a bible
a tree in nature
a painting of a man with a robe on
a painting of a young boy holding an apple
a painting of a man with no shirt on
a painting of a man standing in a doorway
a tree in nature
a painting of a man in a red dress
a painting of a spartan holding a sword
urban street with city activity
portrait of two people together
bicyle resting against a wall
bicyle resting against a wall
a painting of a man with no shirt on
animal standing in natural pose
a painting of a demon holding a sword and a lantern
a tree in nature

a black and white photo of a man playing with a ball
a painting of a woman holding a sword
a painting of a man standing in front of a herd of bulls

Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!

A koi pond seen from above, orange and white koi fish swimming among lily pads, clear water with subtle ripples, fallen cherry blossom petals floating on the surface, dappled sunlight

roman church having political power in past history
a man with a surprised look on his face is surrounded by soap bubbles
The monster (Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, 	all hoary-frost above behemoth shoulders.  Snake-like clouds adorning her, I crane my neck, Gaze fixed past the big white house toward uplifted boulders.
And at the South, like his namesake martyr, Hyacinth (Mt. San Jacinto) has lost his head in cloud.  Burned bones against a blue backdrop
	he wears that legacy proud.  Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth:  Accentuate Sonora’s west extremes, and last night’s moon forgot to go away.
A roaring lion
Urban anxiety
portrait of a person with expressive eyes
a neon drawing of a man holding a frisbee
bicyle resting against a wall
a painting of a person holding a book and a magnifying glass
still life with everyday objects
good man and good woman
urban street with city activity
bicyle resting against a wall
