Prairie Sky #5 acrylic....by WayneJOURNEY .....from an earlier poem with a few changes..
my journey like my paintings
explore the sacredness of place
influenced by a serene landscape
with the horizon a theme or metaphor
a point of stillness reflecting back
both top and bottom
with balanced energy
inviting
more than describing
a tight sliver of line
where sky meets land
sometimes calm
sometimes restless
an interplay between inner being
and physical outside world
creating tension between light and space
a place between
the spiritual and material reality
always there

I thought the pic was a photo until I started reading your poem. Beautiful words and paintings. Have a great day.
I was going to try to find specific lines to use here to tell you what this makes me think of. Then realized that just as with a painting, your poem is one whole with the horizon exactly where it belongs. This all reminds me of a post I read everyday from a site called through a Jungian Lens. The author uses his own photographs to explore Jungian theory about all of the same concepts you mention in your poem. You might enjoy taking a look, the site can be found here:

If you do find some sense of relativity, please let me know, okay?

I think however much we value our space, it's always useful to have a reminder within it that reminds us of what's outside.
That inner knowledge is vital to the outside - defines it. Excellently done.
Wayne excellently written!

You must be from the Prairies? My dad was born in Neville, Sask. Inspiring paintings and very impressive writing. Wow!
That vast prairie sky you've painted is so incredibly soothing, as are your lovely words!
Beautiful words and images that make me speechless :) Thank for sharing them, it been great reading your poem :D
artistic and beautiful poem,
love the delicate words.
The sacredness of place . . . what a fantastic subject for any writing. Think on the different meanings of place . . . and the writing can explore the universe. Thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful piece Wayne, and I am really drawn to the power of your paintings, in their zen simplicity -- would love to own one, but resources these days are simple as well...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend -- may there be many more!!! :-)
