Goddess, your self portrait is beautiful...do you do pen and ink? That is my favorite...Again, your drawing shows so much talent. Thank you for sharing with us...
Okay, here is a selfportriat I did a few years ago. The line drawing is filled with words that I think describe me or have something to do with my life. Unfortunately, don't know how to make it bigger or clearer!!
That is awesome Goddess. I know from my daughters career that faces are the hardest thiing to create. I know we cannot read the words but the picture speaks volumes. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Old age too soon reminds us of the
precious time we have spent
together
The sorrow, joys and laughter all
memories of our past
together
We hold hands, smile and caress
a touch we now firmly share
together
No longer sweet youth reminders
gentle looks will remain
together
A walk during sunset so slow
each step on the path
together
We sleep apart each night now
dreams are what keeps us
together
One of us needs the care the
other gives freely to stay
together
Time will come swiftly enough
to tear the hearts apart
no longer
together
NV, I can tell by your writing that you write from personal experience or expierences of your friends and family as I do. I can feel the emotion in every word and that powerful emotion can only come from expierencing it. It is beautiful, thank you.
Wrapped up tightly in her little cocoon
Her soul slowly fading, soon to be gone
Feeling cold, sharp like a frozen splinter
She goes on living in blackberry winter
She walks through her days in reflection
Never seems important enough to mention
Her heart so cold it’s almost shattered
She’d cry out if it even mattered
She doesn’t care enough to even cry
Or find a good reason to get up and try
The rest of the world lives warm in the sun
While rain pours on her, she’s the only one
Cowering in the dark like a wounded bird
Voice becoming so small it is barely heard
In loneliness she may fade and disappear
Becoming unnoticed her biggest fear
Threads of sorrow reach to hold her fast
She fights but knows inside, she can’t last
Just one ray of hope to help her hold on
A light, a flicker, a hint of coming dawn
Blossoms are beautiful but the briars cold
She sits and waits for her fate to unfold
Drifting into nothingness, reality hits her
She will spend her life in blackberry winter
She reaches into darkness for warmth, a friend
Searching for a loving soul to help her mend
Hoping desperately to find a loving heart
To save her before she comes apart
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
Sooth all her fears, hear her when she cries
Keep her safe, guide her through the storm
Eyes to shine on her and make her warm
Arms to hold her, keep her from being lost
Rescue her heart from the place it was tossed
Make her want to laugh again, make her smile
Sit and talk with her for even just a while
A sound in the darkness reaches her heart
The voice of a friend, she knows it’s a start
Calls to her, reaching out with a gentle hand
Fills her like an hourglass needing sand
Tells her she’s beautiful, she believes it’s true
Says he needs her and lonely days are through
Spends time with her, giving her care
Teaches her to live again, make it if she dare
She reaches out, takes his hand, stands at his side
Feeling his strength, her eyes now open wide
With him beside her nothing can hinder
Light in her heart ending blackberry winter
