No one can see me Even though I am present No way to stand out

What's next in my life? My brain is lost in the fog No paths to be seen

No longer with me Yet I still sense her presence Always in my heart In loving memory of my grandmother, Chiyeko Naito. 1927-2020

No one can see me Even though I am present No way to stand out
A single glow of white light
May have little or no meaning
But with bright colors and unique shapes,
It is a neon painting full of feeling
As a woman with autism,
Verbalizing can be quite a struggle
But communicating through visual art and writing
Saves me from a lot of trouble
No fires, pyrotechnics, or sparklers
Not even one candle
Only used were toys, flashlights, and string lights
Safe and easy to handle
You will laugh, you will cry
Fear may even strike your heart
But whatever mood each image portrays
They are my works of art
Read through the haikus
And you will see
What each light painting
Represents to me
But go ahead and make your own interpretation
Be imaginative and free
That’s what art is all about
Creativity is the key
So, sit back and enjoy this journey
Stories to be told and a thrill ride of emotion
Both original and luminous
Strong feelings, both positive and negative, in every direction
