A Life of Wonder

I recently discovered an artist whose work moves me deeply, inspires me to write, and to collect every piece he creates. His future collection is stunning. Each piece captures a moment in life and transports us there. Whatever we are doing: reading, playing online, thinking of our past, we’re invited to stop for 8 sacred seconds as his work plays.

This work invites us to our childhood soul: into that quite place of beauty and self-reflection. I am grateful for him. Here are my poems that were inspired him.

In collaboration, I wrote this poem that accompanies this gorgeous NFT.

Saffron and morning prayer
Ancient words float in the air
Your mysteries wrapped in red
Hidden in the carpet’s silk.

I was inspired to write two more poems. The first for one of his works in progress, which I was able to glance at before it was released. I’ll share the work with you as soon as he releases it.

Somewhere in the bloom 
Between this world and beyond
Your bluest eye returns to me 

Memories of you grow
Vibrant and serene

Here I will wait 
Between what I cannot hold
And what I cannot see

Finally, his work Window of Hope.

In its honor, I wrote this poem:

In the darkest places I invite you in
To heal all that you can’t see
The perfect words cast behind me
As shadows of the tree

Omid Kazemi’s work is among the most beautiful I’ve seen. I know it will move you, too.
