Solitude standing........
Been away for a few days and managed to shoot some landscapes.
Sorry for not catching up with everyone’s work but will try to catch up over the next day or so :)
Solitude Standing
Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she’s been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I’m struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we’ve met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says “I’ve come to set a twisted thing straight”
And she says “I’ve come to lighten this dark heart”
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say “I’ve never thought of finding you here”
I turn to the crowd as they’re watching
They’re sitting all together in the dark in the warm
I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And then she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says “I’ve come to set a twisted thing straight”
And she says”l’ve come to lighten this dark heart”
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say “I’ve never thought of finding you here”
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I’m struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we’ve met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Love your treatment of this, Tracey, it’s made it look like a painting of an old English scene. The isolation is wonderful – all that wide open space, a great escape from the hubbub of civilisation.

Gorgeous work. Solitude on acid. You SO make me feel the vastness of being alone. Amazing how you make us feel stuff with only two dimensions to work with… I think the third and fourth dimensions are carried by your soul, like modulated radio frquencies…
OK, I`m getting carried away here…
Massive work lady!!
