Songbird
Original model image by my good friend Ademac
Landscape, post work and model: Me
Eight years ago this month
In a galaxy far, far away
I lay in a pool of blood
listening intently to a songbird calling out my name
directing my senses to another realm
She was calling me away from where I lay
Sucking me away from a lucid pain
Transporting my soul
into her rainforest of lush green heaven
where spongy soft moss cushioned my filthy skin
I bathed in her euphoric surrounds
gazing through fluffy white mist
and found myself mesmerised
by magical beams of sunlight
shining through my body, filling me with love
Nearby, the trickle of a stream ran through my ears
cleansing my mind
With a purity so fine, it entered my blood stream
filtering poison until the residue dripped from my toes
seeping back into my safe green blanket of moss
Her green paradise
cloaked me passionately, lovingly
protecting my worth
injecting prisms of warmth and trust
saving my soul
With her thoughts through mine she said in time
whenever I see green my heart will survive
in the knowledge
that there will be no more pain
only love
My brave new world could not last too long
and my songbird bid me farewell
but not before
she filled me with a sense of knowing
and of an amazing strength that would last me a lifetime
As I opened my mind and returned to that room
his steely grey eyes
moved away from mine
Searing pain pierced through my spirit
and sheet lightning stabs cursed agonisingly inside
Under a hot shower, far from my rainforest stream
I curled into a foetal ball
Stained red water splashed the walls
and far off somewhere in my senses
I could hear the songbirds call….

Tracey, you are such an amazing story teller becuase you have such a deep history and such an amazing story to tell. And as your horror story becomes a love story, your art takes us there and lets us feel your green as it swirls around you and keeps watch over your soul.
This is not only beautiful in the context of your story, but it stands alone as a deeply engaging piece that evokes such peacefulness and tranquility. I could so get lost in your emerald forest!
