Public arts abound on alleyways and bus boards in Vancouver. Local painters and writers creative works are shared for the public to enjoy. It astounds me how much imagination a person has from painting to writing. Putting them together create a complete puzzle.
What will we remember of our times here
when shadows blossomed into grief,
where we couldn’t know just by looking
which stars were alive
which died centuries ago.
We’ll speak of the way we held
forgiveness in our pockets,
reached in and felt it there,
forgiveness ready in any moments
to be given and given away.
We’ll say how hard we tried.
How hard we tried to love.
~ in Atonement by Pamela Porter featured in Poetry in Transit
Thank you for the poem. I love the idea of having a pocketful of forgiveness ready to hand out at any time.
You picked the best line.
This is a beautiful piece of work. I’m really enjoying all the art work you are sharing, and it’s inspiring me to visit Vancouver some day – it looks like an inspiring and interesting place to visit
Hi Marti, Thank you. Do come when you have a chance. It is really quite beautiful just walking around the old streets with murals. Vancouver has so many talented local artist. We have a comic shop just around the corner.
