Ephemeral Partings

Ephemeral Partings

Dedicated to my father who passed away 9/15/08.

Ephemeral: Lasting only one day. Lasting a very short time.

I created this using various old images I had laying around and played with it in Photoshop.

I almost feel like I should have a poem written for this piece, but alas, i am not a writer!

This piece was featured in PixElations-The Art of Photography, The Graphic Room-Graphic and Digital Art and the Live, Love, Dream group as the Top Feature Piece of the Day – 9/5/08.

This piece also took 1st place in the Live, Love, Dream’s Editing Frenzy Compitetion

THANK YOU!!

    Not only one soul…
    has passed the threshold of the unknown.
    but many of them lives..
    lived in constant trasformation.
    The seeds have grown ripped trees.
    and danced autums in dancing leaves.
    All of them had his smile and caresses…
    The butterflies have come and gone…
    with the winds of springs…
    taking with them..
    the words of untold love…
    that will breath into my heart….
    as long as it will beat….
    along…
    along…
    Rosa (Well….my father died many years ago…and I feel those words untold…of love and care…your work is beautiful, serene and full of tenderness.Hope my inspiration will help you)

  • Karri Klawiter

    Karri Klawiter

    I am not a writer (I saw that she wrote)
    she thought it would have been nice to have written a poem
    or something
    to go with the art
    But you did, I said to her out loud
    by myself in my room
    looking into the picture
    I can see I believe, every word you wrote
    right there,and there,
    as clear as the butterflies
    They are released into the air for flutter
    and flight
    to cover the space you feel
    between you and the one you’ve lost
    so that you aren’t lost in the loss
    I think, that you are clearly a writer
    I think, believe, that not all words are formed with letters
    and artful visions can be created with text
    That color can be captured and expressed without colors
    that silent pieces do sing and speak
    still images sometimes burst with movement or dance
    that moving images can be quite timeless and still
    and I think, that your image, is very much poetry

    Thanks for sharing it. I’ve lost both of my parents. Is it inappropriate to occasionally feel a bit “orphaned” if you are an adult…?

    Victorialand, I don’t think age matters when loosing one’s parents. Thank you for the beautiful words, they mean a lot to me :)

    Thanks…at this moment, I have been for a while and plan to stay a while longer, nestled right inside of Apparition of Complicated Expresso…which actually reminds me of some kind of, really nice nook, or wombish place, where I want to hang out and read a book. It’s a nice place. It also, oddly enough, or not, reminds me of really cool idea and palette for a very elegant classic wedding gown…(watched project Runway earlier…)

    here is a poem for this

    Fleeting softly on the wind I take flight
    swiftly landscape changes into night
    Where it takes me, I do not discern
    turning dark and dreary I become concerned
    Yet enduring, I suffer not you see
    To embrace life’s short lot for me
