ZEPHER - The refreshing light wind of aspiration
Code: po10-16
THE
STORY:
This poem was inspired after watching the news on TV and listening to all the stress, the blame, the fears, the pain in loss or feared loss I began to reflect on 'Why is money such a curse to us all'. Greed, avarice, pride of position? One day it's worth everything and the next it's worth diddly squat (nothing) and some will murder, lie and cheat just to have more of it than their neighbour. We feel insecure without it because we don't trust as a little child where our next meal is coming from. We have lost our faith. It does and it doesn't make sense. When I was later considering this I noted what a wonderful world we live in and how easy it is to get lost in the cares of daily stress so we miss out how to enjoy the beauty as a child does. I thought a little bit of light hearted surreal with some images that I had already used in other works and this is the result.
If you are like me you need to be continuously reminded to let it go and walk in the fields of imagination without feeling guilty for past failures. When you choose to dwell on the positives in life you are more adept to make the right choice to enhance the wonders of what the Divine has given us to enjoy. Your bowl of inspiration becomes full with fresh images again.
I am considering taking this further down the road of surreal into a more developed story of living in the fields of aspirations as a fully fledged oil painting. WATCH THIS SPACE.
