Hazy Acres: The Creative Practice of Ryan Boos

Seeing past this place

Less 

To manage 

Here

While I escape the moment 

For a moment 

Presence there

Presence here 

Not to find peace in anyone 

Cultivating self 

Even when you cannot imagine 

How its always there

Can’t you feel it 

Creates the images

Visualize 

What you sense way down 

In you 

The real version of you 

How long have your kept it silent 

Intermittently 

For me 

Now 

Difference between 

My face 

And the mask 

Still there 

Unfolding the patterns

One inch at a time 

Even if only for a second

Split in two 

How I can’t feel complete 

With you 

Or anyone 

While it hits me

Fiercely 

Imagine 

What you said all those times

Before this one 

No one heard it 

You kept it in 

You keep it all tied up 

For what 

As the rage of water flows everywhere 

Around us 

There are no limitations 

Say as you will 

Do as you must 

For the right reasons 

For you 

I’ll never find that complete feeling 

Stopped looking 

One day in the mirror 

Saying to myself 

I see you 

And you will be seen 

On the lines of your own 

Forever
