Julian Baslyk - Galactic Scape (2014)

Galactic Scape by Julian Baslyk

The circular fires in the sky
The sun still lights
As it brightens another will darken
As it will project
And rain on this world
The mountains still lie deep
And the sea still flows
Forsee these projections
As the brush will foretell the plan
Because the worlds are beautiful
As it will hang somewhere to brighten the space
For peoples mind to wander within it
And their eyes to rest upon it
And their offsprings to inspire
For my art may lie
Until they decide otherwise
Take path of the plan
Round it into a motion
Become only a myth
And last through the eternities
By the universe to succumb
The revolutions to take aim
And the paint to plan
The form to build
The shadows to wave
The colors to refute
And those who wait by it
Those who travel
Those who build
Those who rise
Those who understand
And those who grasp
To only one day ignore it
And leave it
So it can do it again for another
In time

Julian Baslyk - The Great Beyond (2012)

The Great Beyond by Julian Baslyk

Forever wander through a space
To capture a moment with another
To create an experience for you and I
For my hands to paint and my years to be mended
For my mind and lips to explain
For my eyes to see
For my hands to work
For my hours to spend
For my life to be settled
And my experiences to come through
And my colors to be seen
My forms to be structured
My dreams to be explained
And my world to be delivered
Through this and that
Us and them
Him and her
To look at this day and another
And to awe in wonder

Julian Baslyk - Bright Ocean Scape (2013)

Bright Ocean Scape by Julian Baslyk

One land here
One sun here
One ocean and one sky here
It is only I that has changed it
I will form and shape
Will twist and blend
Will make you awake
Wonder and ponder
Look there
And be there
And observe there
Only through the hand
Only through the work
Can you inspire and be inspired
Can you brighten and be bright
Can you see it
And feel it
And wonder
And move
And be projected upon it
And for it to project upon you
Years will pass
Another dimension
Through a million attempts
It will one day fall through
And land in my hands
To hang for you
And ponder and wonder
And repeat
To sing loud by it
And to feel from it
To see it here for a moment
To see it hang for a moment
And to reflect upon it
As we imagine and we define
We morph around it
And we have it morph around us
And our eyes are touched upon it
Our spirits mended
Our visions foreseen
Our wealth captured
Only by this here
A mystery of mysteries
And a blessing worked

Julian Baslyk - Setting Stars (2014)

Setting Stars

The light shines
The stars are mixed and amused
The air is swirled and blowing
And the world is deep and glowing
But there is land and water
Still suns and mountains
Always new and different
Always inspiring and aweing
Always something new
Like yesterday
Like tomorrow
Another beginning
Always more reflections
A new color to work upon
New shapes
New forms
New structure
Each time I visit
Each time I start over
Is new
Is another beginning
More to work with
More to play with
Another part of me
Will start over and repeat
Until I end
And start over again

Julian Baslyk - Nightly Scene (2013)

The Nightly Scene, Stormy currents

The land and the waters
The mountains and the distance
The stars in the sky
For us to see, abnormally
Not what we are habituated upon
The shapes are waving
The lines of the waters are a unity
Something we know and think of
There is a physical world
But not this one Earth
A place brought through imagination
Understood through a theory
Realized by an insight
And foreseen by a thought

Only far away and untouchable
A place we can reflect on
A place through the artist
A unity from the artist's hand
Through your mind to ponder
And in this space, it may move
It may travel like you and I
It may go the distance or rest
It may stay here months or years
It may be damaged or mangled
It may be changed or altered
It may hang framed to appear more convincing
But its essence will always remain as one
For the brain to project and the eyes to see

And ideas to be morphed by it
Visions to be raised
Thoughts to be struck
And minds to be changed
By this and that through it
By the moments and the movements
To one day reach the presented
And one day teach those trapped
To free them from banality
By the forms and the figures
The shadows and the shapes
The colored and the contrasted
The waves and the works
And the stars that are presented
