Take a Moment. Poetry and Art by Rich Okun
Drawn to the Light
She was drawn to the light,
invited by the color
coming through,
blending into her surroundings,
she became aware and knew.
She bent down
and sipped sweet nectar,
from flower petals
drenched in morning dew,
listened to the forest sounds
recite their version of
‘the world according to.’
She was one with the scene,
in harmony with nature.
A part of everything,
as everything, was sure
a part of her;
and it carries her away,
every moment in every day.

I’m a big fan of Rich’s. I agree with everything he stands for. His wonderful feeling for his wife, maya and love of all animals. The children he captures beautifully. I was just thinking I’d like table book of his art.
Thank you so much Jeri
I love Rich, Maya and the whole family. The art is dreamy and the poetry make you think.
Rich is full of compassion and empathy.
Thank you very much Sue
