The artwork stands before me,
What do I see?
I see a world of colour in the life of the artist,
The dark times being hidden,
Hidden in the brightness surrounding them.
I look deeper into her world
And the darkness pulls me in,
Pulls me into the blackness that went before,
Maybe times of sadness,
Or of grief,
But they are being covered by the lightness
As her life moved on into its glory.
The sparks of light come through
To show that her world now has light,
And the light will increase
As her life moves on from the dark,
Into the light of life,
Where peace, happiness and love,
Especially love,
Will be with her forever.

- Comment from author about the poem: The artwork was painted by a friend of mine and I said I would write some words about it. After studying the painting the words came, when I showed her the poem she was brought to tears and she said that my words had completely understood the feelings that she had put into the artwork.

A fine write and pic Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Lovely painting and lovely poem
Thank you SW, much appreciated.
Two impressive art forms on the same page ..... I understand your interpretations GF60, which seem to reflect your own personality .. that of optimism and hope.... the painting is one I might loose myself in for sure........ N
Thank you Neville, I too can lose myself in paintings.
Someone else reading your appraisal here could say that it is a rather subjective and revealing appraisal my friend.The words of a soul who's spirit is the light moving through dark times. The dark strengthening the perspective of the light. Light being the dominant in both the picture and yourself.
Thank you d a, when I showed the lady who did the artwork she said my words had interpreted what she wanted to convey in the painting.
I see the blue sky where love is warm
Where tears have dried after the storm
Where pain has gone and left you meek
The sun has shone so you can speak
Breathtaking colours
Andy your words are an inspiration
Thank you so much Andrew, your words are much appreciated.
Your gift of optimism that brought her to tears, and such is friendship
So very true Suresh, friendship is so special.
