Description Memories can be such painful things but from all pain beauty can be found, at least that is what I keep telling myself. Though I have done art pieces and photo manipulations that took days upon days to create and even ones that I wept while creating, none that I have made has affected me like this one has. This one was very painful to do but it was one of those things in life that come along that we know we must finish.

I was trying to place some part of my life behind me, usually to do that I find various music to listen to and just set it on repeat till I feel better. I had forgotten that in my music files I had a mislabeled song. Thinking it was a song that I might find hope in, when it began I knew within the first few notes that it was not the song I was thinking it was. Yet I could not turn it off. The song dredged up many pains and memories in my mind that I wish could be washed away like the waves away the sands each tide.

To bad in life things are not that simple. Pains we wish would just fade away seem to come back like a reoccurring storm, catching us off guard at the worst times and leaving us curled up, holding ourselves and weeping like the rain. This piece depicts that in the best way I know how to show it. The only thing that is truly out of place is the sun beams, guess it is my way of wishing the storm would just clear away to a brighter tomorrow.

Take what you will of this piece, though I hope no one can relate I hope you can understand the meaning behind it. Those that have said it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved before have themselves never loved.

Song:
Kamelot - Forever

There's a pain within, that I can't define
There's an empty space, where your love used to shine
From the night we met, till the day you died
Do you think I wished, do you still believe I tried

All too soon we were divided
And life had just begun

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

I belong to you, you belong to me
It's the way things are, always meant to be
Like the morning star and the rising sun
You convey my life and forgive me what I've done

All too soon we were divided
Into darkness and light

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together (bound together)
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever

(Forever) Save me
Reverse how I'm thinking of you
Every breath I take brings me closer
Closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

All too soon we were divided
The life had just begun

Will you revive from the chaos in my mind
Where we still are bound together (bound together)
Will you be there waiting by the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes forever (forever)

By the gates of dawn
When I close my eyes
Forever

It was tough but it helped me move on. One thing that is great about art, it can be that vent you need.

absolutely beautiful. while i understand i hope to never relate. though i fear one i hold dear may face such a storm soon... i can appreciate the sorrow and pain a song can unearth. the inability to shut it off. the sorrow ready to swallow you whole... i only wish i could put this to image like you have. you've a great gift. thank you for sharing it with us.

Love this piece, simply beautiful, the raw emotions are evident. That is usually when creativity is at it's best. I dont really draw but I do write poetry. I find it therapeutic. Even though it may be a very emotional time, the feeling of satisfaction over a good piece, can bring some light to a tragedy and dissecting the emotions, brings them out and helps me heal. Thanks for sharing.
