Her heart
The little girl sits
inside of me
embracing the refuge
of music
Of Gods and higher powers
the music comes
pulling her further inside
The soul of the music
threads through her veins
cutting her through
to the core
A pain that only
she comprehends
unwilling but sure
of her destiny

Her heart belongs to the following groups:

Peter Lusby Ta...
This is a very appealing image with an almost ageless painterly quality.

Trish O'Brien replied

Jan Timmons
The inner child and that certainty that we can pursue our beloved passions forever. Delicately portrayed, although I enjoy the behind-the-scenes details such as the fan rotating itself to the floor.
Trish O'Brien replied
lol, I probably shouldn’t put such graphic detail up re the fan and disturb the image – I still haven’t managed to find a new fan, even though the weather has become very warm! I tried buying an industrial fan, it weighed a ton so I had to unpack it in pieces from the car (remembering the broken ribs…), take it all upstairs, build it with no instructions, then when I turned it on it was as though an airplane was about to take off, the whole studio nearly blew away…..so I had to disassemble it, take it all back to the car, re-pack it into the box (things never go where they came from when it comes to packaging!) and take it back to the shop. I’m feeling very shy of trying again…...so I continue to work with the one that falls off the stool, until it breaks completely :-)
Thanks for your lovely comment Jan x
Jeff Clark

Thank you berndt2. The cello seems to bring out contemplation, it has such majesty and an energy of its own, even children hold it in wonder.
