Anger interrupted,
Dissolving dissonance,
Like ephemeral streams,
Quilting prairie terrain,
Meandering,
Through music,
Of my own making.
Poem written by Sanford Ross Bender on January 18, 2022
Interrupted Anger
Waves of Leaves
Silver Sky of Sadness
Goblin Hot Pot
Dancing around a fiery cauldron bubbling with delicious goblin cuisine ingredients is in stark contrast to coping with real time global dangers that encroach upon our conciousness. Living in art and music is starlight as darkness and its inky blackness thicken and roll out the last glimmers of the day.
And then there is music for the next morning…

She Runs Through My Mind Like an Apparition
Listen to my recent musical composition entitled, ” She Runs Through My Mind Like an Apparition” for guitar, concertina, and mandolin. My boxwood engraving of a vine covered oak is evocative of the haunted James River floodplain in Virginia. The musical composition is reminiscent of stories sung in ballads that migrated from Europe and Africa to the southern regions of North America. The diverse musical instruments express the fleeting polyphonic thoughts that run through my mind, forever changing in time. I fondly acknowledge my son, Adam Bender for assisting me with graphic layout and production. Sandy Bender
