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
