Sampling Death




Sampling Death

Wanting to fill the void
remembered loneliness
Escaped
The imagined lover
Sharing dreams
On a windswept shore

How to escape the loneliness
In another’s world
Searching
Looking for the void
Old dreams
On a windswept shore

Dreaming to fill the void
The painful loneliness
Sleeping
Escaping once more
Sampling death
On a windswept shore


The sketch is of “J” yesterday morning modeling for a life drawing session.
16”x 12” pastel on toned grey paper

    So deeply moving...your words bring a lump to my throat...and when combined with this wonderful sketch...well...it really takes my breath away.
    Think I've been here too...perhaps in another life...somewhere beyond the Islands...

      Thank you
      The pose reminded me of the escapes I’ve made through sleep.
