On Intuition

i would live like a flower

that blooms without thought

or a bird that flies

without being taught

 

when my daughter left

i didn't have a bad feeling

i didn't say to her

don't go

i never saw her again

 

when illusion becomes dis

whatever my belief

i must remember this

trees will still leaf

 

 

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

 

Chuck Edelson was born in Chicago on Oct. 8th  1929.   His childhood was overshadowed by the Great Depression and World War II.  His first loves were books, movies and music  A high school teacher encouraged him to develop latent art skills.  After a short an unsatisfying university experience, driven by news of the holocaust of the Jews in Europe,  he left the U.S,A for a pioneering life in the new state of Israel where he  and his family farmed the land.  Along with his work as a farmer he continued his creative side painting and sculpting mainly themes from the bible and the holocaust.  Now retired from farm work he still sculpts, draws and of late has begun to write poetry after few and far between attempts in the past.
