Portraits for a Poet

This is my brother Micah.  He's my second brother, third sibling, and like myself, he's an artist.  We both have crazy thoughts and ideas--he uses a journal, I use a sketchpad.  I have included some of this poetry below.  Enjoy his art and our photos!

Currently Micah is in the US Airforce stationed in Shreveport, Louisiana.

I heard Boredom writes too

Long lazy days

sitting, hiding

in my room

collecting thoughts

and pasting mental collages

Nights

achieving nothing

dead battery cell phone paper weight

fighting sleep

and welcoming solitude

Life

is the hardest puzzle

Life

is the toughest maze

Because the walls

of deception

are all invisible

and the fire

we walk through

doesn't sting

all too much

But months and years

of getting burnt

and tasting dirt

can lead your path

to dead ends

to unquestioned answers

but do not stop

because the

walls of your maze

will soon be visible

and you will be large

and you will

knock

them down
