About meI find connectedness through various forms (poetry, painting, music) by insisting on spontaneity. An image that I paint could very well become a chorus in a song. Paying close attention to my dreams and the soft voices inside my imagination, and allowing these to shape within my being's center (an emanation of my heart), this is the affirmation of the symbolic through faith. An invisible loving which manifests itself through patience and is never controlled- The hidden becoming known. My work will always seek an affirmation or communion while creating a liberation of the ordinary. A visionary poetic journey of over twenty years, Project End of Days is a celebration of "heartsongs" that will inspire.

T.Byron Kelly-Poetry/Vocals
Poet, painter and musician T. Byron Kelly (born in Washington D.C.) has been working as an active performance artist in the South Western Virginia area for over two decades. Live, spontaneous lyric poetry performances and gallery exhibits have been at the heart of the poet's work. As an Undergraduate and Graduate student, Byron studied with poets Nikki Giovanni, Lucinda Roy, Grace Bauer and Anne Bromley as well as novelist Don Secreast and painter Janet Niewald . Byron received private art instruction during that time and was also a member of Tri-M (Modern Music Masters honor society). Byron studied the relationships between poetry, painting and music and soon began to illustrate his own poems with paintings and put them to music as well. Byron has also taught creative writing and composition on the college level and is a member of the Appalachian Writers Association (A.W.A.) and the Appalachian Authors' Guild (A.A.G.). Project End of Days-Selected Poems available now @Amazon.com

I'm all tucked in and ready for sleep
Please read me a story and I won't make a peep.
Just one more page, just one more chapter
I want to know if there's a happy ever after.
A part of yourself you'll give to me
As you turn the pages of a fantasy.
We can be courageous, brave and bold
As we fly to the future or to days of old.
We may cry together, you and I
When we read of injustice and wonder why.
Or we may laugh together in the funny parts
Yes, books are a blending of our hearts.
I pray no matter how old I may be
That someone so dear will read to me.
And when I'm a parent with a child of my own
I'll read to them, a story or poem.
And my children shall treasure our nighttime tale
Not only the story, but our closeness as well.
So now I'm tucked in and ready for sleep
And in my heart your love I'll keep.
