Artist Vasil Woodland / aka Vasyl Mushyk
moon rising, towards setting
she blew me a kiss
from eastern winter winds
beyond the Sawtooth Range
as the sun rose
to envelop my heart
from skin to marrow
the world stopped for her
to make us smile
as the violet hues
shifted in the shade.
she was my joy...,
my heart...,
my celestial view...
she was the dampness on my lips.
she was my first prayer
of every day.
dayz now set
in evening prayer
for us
with dry lips.

Artist Vasil Woodland / aka Vasyl Mushyk
Ukrainian Artist, Vasyl Woodland has given me permission to pair his art with my poetry and writings on my new website and FB Page. I hope you enjoy his work and are drawn to support him and his people however you can in your prayers.
PBS / Firing Line interviewed Lieve Schriber, a celebrated actor and descendent of Ukraine. They vetted the NPO BlueCheck and found there are no middlemen and 100% of the money goes directly to all the non-military needs behind the enemy lines. Please click here to make a donation to support Ukraine through BlueCheck.
Vasil studied under Norval Morrisseu. Norval Morrisseau CM RCA, also known as Copper Thunderbird, was an Indigenous Canadian artist from the Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation. He is widely regarded as the Grandfather of Contemporary Indigenous Art in Canada. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norval_Morrisseau
