Him
So
powerful in youth
following
old rules
breaking
local records
winning
foolish goals
forgotten
so soon.
Her
So
strong,
Yet
hindered by old rules,
once
weak in the shadows,
now
controlling the fall
of
foolishness
he’ll
never understand.

The Fall of Foolishness, ah but you are brilliant as well as very , very talendedm and no fool for you are an artist
ReplyDeleteI’ve been as foolish as most for a long time, artist or not..
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteNah...someone who creates Island Off Solitudes cannot be foolish,unless of course it was created to stop your foolishness....
ReplyDeleteI was once a powerful boy playing foolish games, then a man seeing importance in the foolishness. Maybe in old age, I’m finally realizing who continues to have the real strength…
DeleteAah...the fall of foolishness...beyond his understanding...yet well known on a deeper level that reaches beyond time.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they are one...he is a half-recalled previous incarnation of herself...the way he seems less in focus than she is...less solid.
I sense a story of legendary proportions here...your words and sketches combine in a truly magical way! :)
You captured what became obvious as the doodles took form, and express the resulting image so much better than I.
