Description:
Created during Chapter 2 (2020 - 2023), this piece is part of the Versions of Robert Collection—a deeply personal body of work reflecting my journey through my mother’s stroke, dissociation, and eventual dementia. This period of my life involved immense inner soul work, each piece acting as a page in a diary, accompanied by a poem or story.
“Baby Bird” is a conversation between the soul and the self. The gentle figure emerges as both a spirit guide and a reflection of inner fragility, speaking to the tension between innocence and the complex world we navigate.
It is a call to listen—
To hold onto wisdom beyond words,
To find comfort in the unseen,
To trust in the quiet voice within.
A piece about protection, connection, and the unseen ties that bind us across time.

Baby Bird
..
Baby bird
Who’s talking to who
What is this
spirit animal
..
Your soul
My soul
..
Silent and helpless
Hopeful and curious
..
Close your eyes
listen
& imagine
a world
with a deeper
Wisdom
Where wounds can heal
& the voice in our souls
can wander free
..
Can you feel the danger ahead?
Don’t be afraid
I am on your side
..
This land of life
full of
wounded children
Internal prisons
&
ego-saving truths
..
Don’t read the terms and conditions
of this so-called
place of adults
Don’t listen to their
words of “I am right”
..
Keep your eyes closed
& hold on to that
feeling
of now
Hold on to your
story of
heart
..
Weave through
the map
of pride
greed & desire
..
& find my hand
your other soul
..
The red string of fate
will never break
..
Sleep well
baby bird
I lay waiting
loving
..
Your destined soul
..
