Art is an exacting goddess that demands one’s offering of heart, mind and body.

Crimson Creative #276 – I Am
Look at me
You may think you see who I am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, it’s as if I play a part
Now, I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who am I inside?
I am now in a world,
where I have to hide my heart,
And what I believe in
But, somehow, I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that I’m someone else all the time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am?

If It Be Your Will by Leonard Cohen
Christian Schloe – Austrian Surrealist Digital Painter
On November 7, 2016, the sad news was announced that the prominent poet, novelist, musician, singer, songwriter and paint artist, Leonard Cohen had died. He was born on September 21, 1934 in Westmount, Quebec, Canada.
His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships. He won the Chester Mac Naghten Literary Competition for the poems “Sparrows” and “Thoughts of a Landsman.”
His song “Suzanne” became a hit for Judy Collins who subsequently covered a number of Cohen’s other songs, as well, and was for many years his most covered song. He was also associated with many other performers including Sharon Robinson, Jennifer Warnes and Anjani Thomas. ©wikipedia
During the New York City’s folk scene in Greenwich Village, I had the pleasure of being exposed to his words from other poets who were reciting his poems and aspiring to be as good.
It’s a formidable loss of an incredibly revered visionary artist.
May you Rest in Peace,
Isadora

“Hallelujah” was first released on Cohen’s studio album Various Positions in 1984.
If It Be Your Will
If it be your will that I speak no more
And my voice be still as it was before
I will speak no more, I shall abide until
I am spoken for, if it be your will
If it be your will that a voice be true
From this broken hill, I will sing to you
From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
From this broken hill all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing
If it be your will, if there is a choice
Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in Hell
If it be your will to make us well
And draw us near, and bind us tight
All your children here in their rags of light
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill
And end this night, if it be your will, if it be your will
Song Lyrics

Sunday Song – Hot Summertime
Beach sand in your toes,
working on a suntan,
sleepless hot nights,
a time for pillow fights,
cold sweet ice tea
refreshes while relaxing,
with the hazy, lazy days
of the HOT SUMMERTIME …
~~~~~~~~~
AAAaaaahhhhh ….. the season of summer is upon us.
May the sun shine upon your life ….
And may the summer breezes gently sing a song of “LOVE”

A smooth jazz rendition of Summertime by Ray Barretto
A good one to grab you honey, and cha cha
across your living room dance floor.
Now, that your legs are warmed up,
time to have a sip of your Pina Colada
and groove on the sandy beach.
A summer beach song celebrating summer with a fun sound.
Now, it’s cool down time, sit back,
soak up the sun and listen to a bluesy
jazz song from the play Porgy & Bess called Summertime.
Happy Summer …
Isadora 😎

Sunday Song – Malaguena Salerosa
Love is like the wonders of a unique rose in the garden of peace.
Beauty is not in the face; Beauty is a light in the heart. Khalil Gibran
Placido Domingo sings this romantic song about the beauty of a woman he desires,
but feels unworthy of her. The words are in Spanish and English.
Enjoy … Isadora 😎
Sunday Song – Jazz Tunes
Musical tones bring joy and happiness within, dance captures sound in every step in time.
The blues tells a story in itself. It can make you happy or give you a feeling to swing.
