Black & White, I know not so... by Durham White

Black & White, I know not so... by

I sit alone…
I sit & wait….

I need to remain calm….
I know that somebody can hear me…

I know that I’m not the only one…

I know that there is more than one side…
I know that there is more than just my side…
I know that I’m not wrong…

This world is not just black & white…

I will come out of my shelter…
I will not hide forever…
but for now I need my time…

I will show my face again…

My thoughts are not just black & white…

    this is great. the lighting is perfect.

  • thanks hsien-ku, i’m glad you like it ;) i have a slightly more brighter version of this, however felt that this fits the mood of the image i want to portray, a subtle, minimal darker yet somewhat calming mode…

    love it d…. you’re so right… subtly moody and quite calming…. and goes perfect with your words too…. : )

  • mimi, cheers, I’m glad you’re in agreement with my thoughts here & thank you for the favourite… i added the words to this photo last year around the end of October, a time that i was really finding myself & coming to terms with the emotions that surrounded me… i can almost bring the duck’s face out into the light now…

  • truly grateful jacqleen, the timing of the moment that i chose to put the words to the image was not the easiest for me, nor do the words come easy, however these capture my inner thoughts & feelings!! I love that the image is growing on you ;)

    Beautiful work – both the image (so beautiful) and the words.

  • thank you sugargirl, this photo & my feelings at the time became the basis for such emotions I felt to be able to write the words… they are very important to me ;)

    so so so so quietly powerful

    what an image
    your words alongside

    leave me still

  • I think these are my deepest words… they are oh so important to me & my coming to terms with a certain situation in my life & trying to move on… & the quietly powerful ~ hence my alias “DaRk SiLeNcE”, as a quiet person this is my way of expressing myself… Again Cynthia, thank you!!
