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
Gorgeous words Rosa! Thank you! Do you mind if I put that in the description?

Victorialand
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…?

Karri Klawiter replied
Victorialand, I don’t think age matters when loosing one’s parents. Thank you for the beautiful words, they mean a lot to me :)
Victorialand
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…)
Douzy
Excellent work – Sorry to hear about your father.

charlena
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
Martin Dingli
Great tribute your art says a lot to me
Karri Klawiter replied
Thank you very much Martin :)
