WHAT I'M LISTENING TO NOW

IF WE SHADOWS

"If we shadows have offended,

Think but this - and all is mended -

That you have but slumber'd here

While these visions did appear.

And this weak and idle theme,

No more yielding but a dream...

--William Shakespare A Midsummer Night's Dream Act V, Scene II

THE JOURNAL ENTRY

Because, I was certain to regret

something I had previously recorded

on your blue horizon lines;

and finding myself presently not in a regretful mood

due to my newly acquired vertical ambitions,

I simply removed you from your resting place

on the brown shelf, dusted you off,

folded you into something beautiful

and put you back to sleep.

--Hassan Beyah

UNTITLED

"Labels and limitations are the silent killers of creativity. Art is like a vast unchartered land and I have only just begun to explore." --Hassan Beyah

TAKE ME BACK

"Sometimes, it is the places you revisit, where you find your greatest inspiration." --Hassan Beyah

FOUND ART INSPIRES ART

SHADOWS

If, we were shadows

we could simply shift

with the rising or setting sun

and be not clouded memories

of what we once were

but beautiful reflections

of what we have now become

--Hassan Beyah
