Picture 017

 8x12 acrylic, plywood by MCS


A woman trapped

in a dream

of mist

and rushing

water

 

Current so strong

it pulls her in under the

rushing waters

where all is

black

 

Struggle to surface

current so strong

black watery grave

lungs burning on

fire

 

She surfaces

in time to see

the drop, the rocks

she gasps, she

wakes

circleoflife

I feel like that sometimes. Gasping. Waking is sometimes not possible. Quite a powerful poem!

the painting is exquisite, as is the poem.
as must have been the nightmare.
they can be refined and elegant
as well, i have found, for they
paint a living world
mirroring the
neuronal storms that pass by............
