Memory ....
This for you Terez , my lovely daughter , she died when she was nearly 15 …...
Thank you my friends your comments and support mean a lot to me. I had this pain bottled up in me so so long… but I knew and hoped with time passing things will change and turn out good… I was right, things started to unfold last week and I could just see and feel it. Working with this wonderful model just inspired me and brought all those feelings up from my heart, bones and my most inner part. I loved every minutes of it and it gave me a wonderful peace of mind.
The original is 120cmX100cmx2cm , oil on canvas , SOLD !.

Hope you like it…?
Thank you dear ANAISNAIS/Anna-Marie for this beautiful writing here.
TURNING OVER
Clock strikes,
every second my heart stabs
another injection of grief,
as streams wash the contours
rushing the valleys of guise.
Memories.
All I behold now you have gone,
besides photographs and diaries.
I stare at you and you are there,
besides me once more.
Turning over,
another page lets me slowly learn
to accept this new place in time
where I find myself surrounded
by loneliness and sorrow.
This is not,
of course how you would want me to be.
Were you with me now you would hold me,
stroke my face and comfort me.
Loving me, happily.
Together,
we have shared these memories,
so many times, turning over,
those beautiful pages of times
roaming through contours of life.
I recollect,
how we walked valleys and streams,
where we played, picniced and slept.
Turning over the page you stay with me,
through the treasures we have shared.
Now at night
when I’m lonely, in those early cold hours,
turning over I’ll remember and cherish
those beautiful gifts given so freely;
and thank God for the time that you lived.
