Drawn To The Rhythm Of The Sea

II continues to amaze me how much dimension can be
captured in the layers of tree bark. Using my Macro Lens,
nature has told me many stories in the form of bark, rocks,
plants, flowers and water patterns. This piece illustrates
the power of tree bark and how well it transforms into
abstracts from nature. The first image I perceived was
a woman on the far bottom left emerged in the action of
the sea. This piece contains many images that are
best interpreted by the viewer. I often associate to musical
lyrics when viewing my painterly photographs. Music is
a great inspiration to the creative process and can enhance
the power of expressive art and in this case “the rhythm
of the sea. Please view this in large format.
Drawn to the Rhythm Of The Sea
Sarah McLachlan

When we wore a heart of stone, we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there, yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night
And the smells that filled the air
And we layed us down on sandy ground. It was cold, but we didn’t care

[Chorus]
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us – the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And we cried out “Is there no escape from the words that plague me so?”

And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

In the still and the silent dawn another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves, the body bent and torn
In the face of the blinding sun, you wake only to find
That heaven is a stranger place than what I’ve left behind

And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

When we wore a heart of stone, we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there, yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night
And the smells that filled the air
And we layed us down on sandy ground. It was cold, but we didn’t care

[Chorus]
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us – the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And we cried out “Is there no escape from the words that plague me so?”

And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

In the still and the silent dawn another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves, the body bent and torn
In the face of the blinding sun, you wake only to find
That heaven is a stranger place than what I’ve left behind

And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea

    tkrosevear,
    I am deeply appreciative of your linking a mix and the amazing song,
    rhythm of the sea to introduce an extraordinary talent, Sarah MacLachian
    to those who are not aware of this exceptionally gifted artist, one of the
    great performers of the Lilith Fair devoted to some of the best female
    performers in the music industry. I have many videos to share and
    need to learn how to link them with YouTube. She is a gift to those
    who listen to her inspirational music.
