A piece inspired by visiting the M. C. Escher Exhibit at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY. I cannot post the image, due to copy write restraints, but if you google Plane Filling 2, M.C. Escher you can view the image.
Always Different Never the Same
(Inspired
by “Plane Filling 2” by M.C. Escher)
Everything different
Nothing the same
Similar but different
Even on the same plane.
Eyes, each one different
No two ever the same,
A Few looking forward,
While most look up, sideways or down.
Faces of creatures,
Some known, others never seen
Some big, some little, some in between,
Alternating in shades of black and white
Once again, no two are ever the same.
All living creatures says your mind at
first glance,
Blended together, to fill the entire
space.
My mind cries out. WAIT
There is one, which is out of place.
It does not breathe, eat, or sleep
Like the rest of the images,
Which fill every space on each plane.
Although it can be made to sing
When caressed by the proper hands.
Could that be why?
M. C. Escher chose a guitar,
To be the only, non-living thing.
