Emotions

Sharing how my grief feels is often too difficult and painful for mere words, so I illustrate them in the form of art... my healthy escape.

Sometimes words come with the image, perhaps creating it helps purge them from my heart.

Missing



The Bending Tree


the bending tree
reaches out to me
broken branches
and withering leaves
windblown by the storm

helping hands
there to hold
broken hearts
reaching out
sorrow unfolds

bonded by tears
shattered dreams
in this worlds wrath
our journey's path

Expressing my grief through art: FEAR

FEAR

Deep
Dark
Thick
Lines on my grieving face

Blurry
Glassy
Tear pools fill my eyes with disbelief

Swirls
Layers
Crazy hair symbolizes my thoughts

Pale
Blue
It should be me and not you!
