On the plane...

Flew above the clouds on a plane today, Adelaide to Queensland, Australia. It was like a new world. An earth made of cloud, as far as the eye could see. Sun, sky, cloud... profound...

BENJAMIN L.M. - Our Way is The Way

Our Way is The Way

Dreams happen
Miracles are real
These are not airy thoughts
They are hard reality
They're real
Fact

Here she is
Out of the void
All over my life
What sweet joy
Heavy duty joy
She's in a league of her own
No contenders
There is nobody else but her
I'm amazed
Jaw on the floor
Knocked out
I love it
Yes

Negative people are wrong
Nobody knows us, but us
Our way is The Way
Not their way
Stick to our guns
Follow our invisible path
Only we can see it
Go without fear
Go with confidence
Power and love are with us

BENJAMIN L.M. - A Living Wonder

A Living Wonder

We’re out there
No coming back now
Slung between past and future
Like it or not
Onward and forward
We have no choice
I like it
All the stages
The seasons
Start and end...
It’s one thing
It is good
The scale and the set-up
A living wonder
A breathing miracle

BENJAMIN L.M. - Green Lights for Miles

Green Lights for Miles

Electric screen
Reaching through
Finding you
Not conventional
Who cares
Modern problems need modern solutions
Away we go

What a treasure woman
Not later
Now
Straight up
Right away
A tiny spark has kicked up
The storm takes off
The glorious storm
Heart of love
God above

Twisting stomachs
Messy sleeping patterns
Severe hunger for each other
Butterfly bodies
Boxes ticked
Many levels met
Check point locks unlocked
Green lights for miles down the road
Nothing in the way
No barrier
Freedom wash
Love slide

BENJAMIN L.M. - The Future is My Strength

The Future is My Strength

The end
I always think I’m at the end
But I’m not
I’m in progress
I’m on my way

I’ve lived in the present too long
I must live for the future now
The past is a dead river
Sift through it
There are flecks of gold
Pan them out
Put them in your pocket
Take them to the future
Only the good lessons
Keep the wisdom

To the future we go
I believe in it
Finally
I see down the track now
I see past the year numbers

I’m at the start
Not the end
The future is my strength
The future is my living place

BENJAMIN L.M. - Bank On Me

Bank On Me

Slow
So slow now
Got to
Only thing left
All the stresses have burned me out
Normal stress
Can’t complain though
There’s always someone worse off

This time without her
Is hard sometimes
I miss her very much
There’s a part of me missing...
Her
Our time will come
I tell myself this
It keeps me going

She’s the highlight of my days
Dying to see her and join
And never leave her
All I say and do are true
I am a man of my word
I’m rock solid
Strong forever
Bank on me
I will not fail her
I’m true
Through and through
My actions are my words
I talk
I do
I am what she thinks I am
I hide nothing
I’m an open book
For her eyes only

In my heart is one girl
Only her
Enjoy love
Fear nothing
Bank on me
Stay forever
Oh baby
You can bank on me

Artwork featured in this exhibit can be found in the seventh gallery column at www.screaminc.net

The S.C.R.E.A.M. iNC, valuation system is based upon free market principals and is a hybrid of the conventional gallery and auction pricing paradigms thus providing an innovated and logical approach in the art pricing paradox.

A portion of the evenings bidding proceeds will benefit the non-profit efforts for the restoration of Pazapa, an organization in Jacmel, Haiti, which helps improve the daily lives of handicapped children and their families.
