Winter 2021
By Helena Pneuma Kaeris
Published Issue 096, December 2021
Heavy we sit; tossed by the waves
The night cries; our hearts are wide
Wherever does this lead
We’ve floated so far; through chimeras, shadows
My lonely heart
Who will be there on the other side
Where our maddened minds shatter to mist
Where your silence soothes us
Your tenderness ferries us out of the dark Into the Light
To our new home
Our new world
To spring Light
About Helena:
I consider myself a life artist or artist of life. I’m a self-taught acrylic painter currently living in Denver, Colorado with my partner and our three shared children. Painting has been an anchor for me during this pandemic with all the global changes and uncertainty. I use painting as a pallet for my subconscious expression and normally allow my work to emerge, rather than planning in advance where it will go. All my paintings have a story to tell and when they are all placed together, they tell a full story involving the workings of my heart. See more by Helena on Instagram.
