fly...
but before you go…
i don’t have a stage
waiting for me
to step up and perform
i don’t have fancy words
to romance the audience
and i don’t have an empty road
to flee to and get lost on
when my thoughts get too big
before you go….
before i go…
i have a box i live in
fancy
but still a box
i have a door
or two
where i can hide behind
and cry my secrets
but in silence
i have a canvas
to drown in
and
indigo
umber
black
and prussian
just needed a dream
to paint
to fly with
not to squeeze
into a box
or to be misunderstood
now fly
but let me close my eyes first
before you go…

Mariam Muradian
Your artwork and words are becoming more and more captivatingly genuine
and soulful to me. I watch your growth and your emerging deep layers.
Keep up the excellent work and exploration.
The role and symbolic description of the BOX in this piece, then its image,
are EXTRAORDINARY!
Blessings to you, dear Mimi.
mimi yoon replied
i am so deeply touched by your comments, mariam… sincerely and truthfully i thank you so much… your words are… you are… as beautiful as your art… ♥

Mariam Muradian
Now on the touchable human level:
Ready to fly or clipped and “grounded” feeling,
eyes wide shut or staring blindly, dearest Mimi,
the lesson of dying will come but so will ALL the
supply and sustainance you will need to get through.
Your soul is worth it all. Trust me…I know…
Big hug.
Tine Wiggens

Ray Schloss
i find both the writing and the image to be very sad, mimi… it reminds me of this song the lyrics of which are here .
companion piece to “and one went away…”, yes? striking, powerful work…
mimi yoon replied
yes, they are a set as of now… :P
the song fits this image very well… it would’ve been better if there was a glimpse of train in the pic somewhere… : )
thanks ray~ : )
Julian Escardo
Love the simple statement and the old school type chosen….....I like that there is a couple of birds – they may choose to fly separately; one may fly away – they may understand that they can fly, but choose to stay. Ok – I am done overanalyzing your work: love the square and the texture/blue to drive the shot!
mimi yoon replied
and i always love your words of interpretation… one is letting the other one go… telling it to fly away and be free as it desires…
and YES, the square… :P
thanks julian
p.s. when do we get to see your travel pictures? no rush :P
missalyshachri...
holy goodness gracious.

mimi yoon replied
thank you misslyshachri… : )
aratma
Beautiful poem to describe the relationship of the inner and outer world.
Your words bounced right in my mind and reminded me of the need for illusion to paint the outer world in pretty colors so to forget that we all live in a cage (or a box, how you call it), made, after some point in life, of our own choices.
Great image! It screams out of the distance not yet there.
mimi yoon replied
thank you very much aratma for viewing it, reading it, getting it, and digesting it…. : )
Ray Schloss
ya… the video is actually fan-produced. the “official” radiohead version is really esoteric and mechanical, so i thought the other one was a better fit. palm trees, coastline, traffic, layers, shoes… :0)
