I sleep only to find angels,

Only to see what lies ahead where this world never reaches,

Only to pull from the great beyond that which fantasy teaches.

 

I sleep only to touch the hand of grand illusions,

To walk upon clouds beyond the worlds,

The worlds of His creation.

 

I stay in dreams and hope to find somewhere beyond the willows,

A road that leads me to a better place,

A place where life refines sad times,

And takes man back to that better place,

A place beyond what we have now,

Into the lost,

The lost within our minds now bent,

To a place when life was simple.

 

And as we travel through this maze,

Upon the maps our minds have made,

I hope that you will somehow gaze,

Into the deeper thoughts and fables.

 

For what we think we know today,

And what we find in life’s true fate,

Are far beyond the simple thoughts,

Of which we do all marvel.

 

So, come with me to the wishing tree,

And climb as high, as high as you are able

And when you’re there with me somewhere,

We’ll pull the string that tears it down upon this puzzles table.

An artist/writer as well as graduate of the University of South Carolina with degrees in journalism/20th Century American Literature, and retired senior executive of several international hotel/resort corporations, Johnny is the product of the south having been raised in the ever-changing transient lifestyle of a Carolina coastal resort. A point where he discovered, within his 300-year-old heritage and the world's dramatic social/cultural shifts during the late '60s to early 80’s an ambitious hunger and overwhelming curiosity to touch, see and become a participant in the virtually unlimited possibilities offered to those who wish for and seek life experiences. A journey which when hearing its details initially makes one a bit skeptical, questioning its validity as it is hard to imagine that incidents such as these may have crossed one man’s lifetime. This is the fodder required to step into zones exposing one's personal inner self, which many of his paintings and the words he writes do, openly. An ability to see and hear the tragic, beautiful, accomplished, exciting journey in a life free of inhibitions allowing others the opportunity to live vicariously and become, through his works, a part of its future. His larger works which have been featured in several Colorado and Fredericksburg Texas galleries and resorts have produced a number of collectors and fans. However, over the years, his paintings are mostly viewed by friends, enthusiastic new artist encountered on the streets or a small number of acquaintances he meets when dining in local cafés with his wife.
