Love Storm
Created by George Presley
The rush, it’s so intense;
affecting all your senses,
sending tiny compassionate hints.
Engulfing your total form,
imagine it as the scent of love—
for it’s love that powers this storm.
It’s striking through your heart.
Watch the traces of the light
as they form a work of art.
as it crashes through your mind?
Listen to the powerful beats
of a love that is one of a kind.
that gather within your hand?
Experience the flavor of joyful tears
of a happily love-struck man.
yet all it’s touched has grown;
and the effects can last forever
in the greatest love we’ve known.
George L. Presley, known to friends as “Bo,” is a 62-year-young artist whose spirit feels closer to twenty-seven. Living inside the prison system, he carries a rare optimism and an openhearted presence that infuses everything he creates. A lifelong reader, writer, and drawer, Bo approaches art the same way he approaches life: with curiosity, resilience, and a sense of humor that has carried him through every chapter.
Bo stays active in body and mind. When he is not sketching or writing, he is on the court or the field, playing pickleball, softball, handball, or soccer. Music is a constant companion. So is his faith. He speaks often of the Lord’s hand in his life and of his ongoing search for a deeper path, learning the difficult art of letting go.
Although he has been creating for years, this is the first time Bo has had a platform to share his work publicly. With the support of his friend and sponsor through Unconditional Freedom Project, he is stepping forward to offer his drawings and writings to anyone who might find warmth, connection, or inspiration in them. He hopes his work will touch hearts the way making it has touched his own.
