A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

South Ashley’s Riverside

Wandering through the mystic winds, I heard a distant voice,

Alive within the wilderness a shout outside the noise; of course.

 

Tall swaying boughs reached down for me,

When a vision asked just who I sought,

Within the shadows of my past and deep within my waning thoughts.

 

To which I spoke in a softened tone as I feared my end was near,

I’m here I said because of you,

And all that you have made, so clear.

 

You see I’m lost within this world and unsure of my way,

I’ve traveled far and sought your hand to guide me through this twisted maze.

 

For You, I hear know each deep thought,

The places where old secrets lie,

The broken steps, on which we walk.

Along South Ashley’s Riverside!

Johnny Johnstonhttp://www.blufengr-art.com/
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.

    • Thank you Paula, it’s a southern twist of mysticism and reflective of a city that’s steeped in history and heritage. As I told Larry, I’ve considered writing more about my love of Charleston, it’s romance and its inspiring beauty. Maybe now is the time.

  1. Your uncanny ability to put life in your imagery took me along as I read each word, Dear Johnny. Thank you for this wonderful rendition where ’self’ is empowered to soar above the Universe, free of all worries and inhibitions.
