LOVE IS TO THE SPIRIT WHAT A MOON BEAM IS TO THE NIGHT #poetry by jay

Oil Pastel

    Love is to the spirit what a moon beam 

    is to the night

    A smile so bright

    that darkness hides 

    under a rock

    defeated by the brilliance

    of the white-hot light

    Dancing on the stars

    staying awake all night

    darkness runs 

    to the corners 

    of the earth

    escaping the wrath

    of its competitors heart

    Love is to the spirit what a moon beam

    is to the night

    Reflections of galaxies

    upon the oceans bright

    mirrors of adoration

    adorning faces despite

    the darkness that challenges

    loves white-hot light.

    Jay Mora-Shihadeh was born in the greater metropolitan area of Philadelphia, Pa. He attended The University of the Arts, in Philadelphia, Pa. receiving a B.F.A. in painting and drawing, as well as a certificate in Art Therapy. Jay’s artwork has evolved from experimenting with representational to abstract expressionism. He employs bold color that is direct and expressive. Physical, sometimes brutal uses of line shape and gesture are the hallmarks of his work. The artwork he creates today leans toward the mysterious. The work is emotional and somewhat ethereal in its exploration of color and form. He strives to grasp the unknown, the subconscious. As both an artist and a poet, spontaneity and process is as important to him as the end result. Currently he resides in Sarasota, FL

    “The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. ... That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.” --- T.H. White
