Moonlight on Snow by Cat Vibert
Oil on Canvas


Twas in the snowy moon I heard your call

As silent footsteps wandered down the path

I heard you and upon my knees did fall

And cried to you my heart’s unending wrath

I raised my arms as branches to the moon

And called to you to save me from this pain

The fairy stories woven in my looms

Have shrouded me in skeins of ices plain

But there in silent fields of snowy white

A sudden warmth came flooding through my soul

As seeds of Love will fly on wings of night

The mysteries of longing take their toll

As sure as night will rend its snowy hand

Love’s touch will melt the hour in the sand

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  I apologize for not getting around to blogs.  Besides painting this week, I overdid the computer thing and have the dread computer arm thing going on, but I’ve been resting and am on the mend. I will be around soon to catch up. 

Congratulations to Jozien for winning the print of the Golden Buddha.  :mrgreen: Thank you so much to all who participated.  There are many excellent poems in the bunch, if you haven’t read through them, I recommend you take the time.  Many of them left me in tears (of joy of course).  Here is the link.


Finally, a reminder to vote for me today and everyday until 2/22 at the WNC On the Verge emerging artist competition.

A Moonlight Sonnet

Moonlight on River
Oil on Canvas

If we could have a moment spent alone

Where I could whisper soft into your ear

Of forces that it seems we both have known

And yet can never speak of these, for fear

That speaking thus will cause the river’s edge

To overflow with secrets best submerged

The voicing of such thoughts would cause a wedge

A confluence of unity diverged

The loves we’ve wed would shatter with my voice

As if my whisper were to be a shout

And they would be the victims of our choice

The pain of this we can not bring about.

Oh waters, wash me clean of this despair

Let me not, of you, presume to care.

A note: This is not autobiographical, but is dedicated to a friend. Also, I apologize again for not being out there blogging so much. I’m really trying to focus on painting, and I can’t paint and be on the computer at the same time. I have to admit that painting has kind of taken over my life, and I’m really grateful for the consumption!

Over night dreams gone astray,
Echoes sing your name.
