A Vivid Blue Abyss--16x20 August 2011
Standing, forlorn on the edge of a cliff
Frightened and alone
Buffeted by strong chill winds
The eerie blue stretching out endlessly below
The jagged black bulk thrusts upward
A seemingly insurmountable pile
Deeply rooted in obscurities and delusions
An exhausting climb up through the jumble
And then a leap of trust into the unknown
As a silhouette of color separates from the black form
Shimmering as it rides the current toward infinity
A last glimmer as it dissolves into the blue
