ART by Stahl
I am extremely grateful to all those who have invested in my development as an artist. The pieces on this page have found a permanent home of their own.
Part of His
these butterflies
in the pit of my stomach
went off course
somewhere
in the middle
of falling in love
and falling apart
wanting and waiting
waiting
waiting
for the hurt
the break
the mistake
it’s not enough
to be
this small
part of his

on dusty fields
we played at this
as children do
with older things
too much time
thinking
are these those
better days ahead
too many nights
remembering
better days passed
two more tries
at creating stories
from broken dreams
one more game
for old times sake
on dusty fields
mistakes like you
will stay.

TENDER MERCIES
without promise
without pain
without protection
from your love
from your light
from your laugh
never finished
never final
never
shall I
abandon to
your tender mercies

Your only reason for existing
Your energy
Your love
Didn’t Ask
for any of
Your _____

Been Here Before
Caution!
Uneven road ahead.
Rockslide area just around the bend.
Road is slippery, even when dry.
Lane narrows.
Now entering a flash flood zone.
Ice warning, bridge ahead is out.
Traffic diverted, alternate route suggested.
Rough road, no passing lane.
What you can’t go around, you just gotta go through.
Slow traffic, keep to the right.
Yes, you’ve been here before.

Dreams a Reality (for my sister)
effort grows
exceeding expectations
doubling down on
rocking the boat
making waves
in small ponds
trying to be a sea
if you dream it
is it real

Mystified
The road ahead from where I’ve been,
spanning oceans of time,
traveling ever forward,
the clock turning back.
Stay the course or cross my path,
all directions head into the unknown.

Want the truth
Want the love
Want the passion
Want the joy
Want the laughter

find only a need for more

Resistance of Memory
a day felt like a minute suspended for a week and hour
months seemed never-ending
anxiety
depression
compulsion
agoraphobic tendencies
anger
on full tilt from wake to sleep
it's no secret
why the memory resists
an accurate retelling
