Melodic Notes

The Lake

Melodies, melodic notes

No one needs to know the depth in which I feel you

Privacy for you and me alone

Carry me away on tips of eagle wings my love

Not close to the sun

But bring me to the stars

So I may see the stars in me and others

I speak with simplicity

To explain the most complicated measure of all.

    Thank you Kushlani, Jackie and Tobin, I really appreciate your comments. The painting was inspired by a friend of mine whose son died in Iraq. As she was explaining her love for her son, I felt her passion so deeply, I then painted this painting. I think it my carry her energy.

    Love is truly the greatest gift of all & the depth of our love for others reflects our love for ourselves. It’s a beautiful poem & I really like the way you used light in the painting, you are truly a talented artist. Thanks for being apart of my life.

    P.S.: Usually the simplest way is the best way!!

  • Janet,

    This is yet another beautiful piece, the combination of imagery found in your painting and in your words. I can imagine your friend will be very touched that her sharing with you her memories of her son has given rise to such beauty.

    I so appreciate your opinion Shannon, thank you for responding to my blog, means a lot to me Hugs.

    Jot the poem on the back of the canvas – then the beautiful painting will live with the words forever.

  • Sharon, what a wonderful idea. I did that once with a painting for a friend of mine. It was about his father who passed away. His father would always sing this special song and I attached the song to the back of the painting. Thank you!
