rabi Khan's contribution to St Martin's Island - upcoming kite festival

Bangladesh owns 6 islands. One, St Martin's Island, is a coral island in the Bay of Bengal. Rabi Khan's latest project is a logo for an upcoming kite festival there - "Fly the kite within you" (mentioned in his HubPages posting, "Do you see what I see".) What a gorgeous idea! (It appears the kite festival is celebrated ~ 10-17 February ~ just before Independence Day !! A comment on this pic from the 2007 festival is recorded by a Finnish blogger - Gagan, originally from Bangladesh. ~ More kite pics! )

On the 26th March 2008 will be Bangladesh's 37th birthday (1971).

Some dawdle

Mesmerised

In

Sunny domes

While others

Cringe

Blindly

In caves of ice

~

Some dance

Nonchalently

In warm climes

While others

Stiffly

Tread

A cooling

Silk road

Some bathe

Numb

On burning sands

While others

Skate

Brazenly

On

Thin ice

rabi Khan re-visited - Some mystical magic after the last sadness

Butterfly, butterfly please do not fly so high,
I want to play with you...
I love your golden hue.
Wish I had wings, so I could dance and fly, like a butterfly... ~ rabi Khan

His work has a silken gel, that almost captures the essence of transformation from solid to liquid. I am always entranced by the beauty of spirit in this artwork! If a picture can inspire the soul, this artwork does that for me!

A Tribute on HubPages - "A Poem for Jonathan"

I have just discovered the most touching tribute on HubPages. It is called A Poem for Jonathan. by lounn. It includes this magical artwork you see here. I think of waves of heavenly, soft earth in an eternal, motherly embrace. For a larger image and more details about the artist, rabi Khan, see the hub.

The opening of rabi Khan's profile on HubPages: "I was born in a village named Khan Baniara near Dhaka, Bangladesh. My first house tutor, on his first day of teaching, wrote my name and drew a rose on my notebook. It was so beautiful. I was so impressed, that was it! I started to draw on books, on sand, on soil, on walls, anywhere I could - from my imagination and observations." See his profile for more of his amazing journey in the art world.
