Waking Up




Waking Up

A slip from the edge.
Final minutes escape
in the invisible haze
of hours remembered
as forever
and then
soon forgotten
in the horror
of having to
wake up.



A couple of sketches from a session with “P” this morning.

  1. Oh wow..so powerful!!
    Haven't we all been there, at some time or another?!
    That awful feeling when you first awaken...after having previously fallen asleep trying to forget something too painful to contemplate any longer.
    And doesn't "P" portray that emotion so well here?
    Truly Amazing work, Anthony...so heart-rending...

    1. Thank you.
      Happens more often it seems in the grey mist of old age.
