Ungodly hour

Posted by
Abena (Illinois, United States) on 11 January 2013 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Your shadow tugs at my sleeve
I look your way
a silent glance
your there
but when I turn, your gone.
A teardrop cascades down a torn cheek,
motionless
like this timeless glass globe.
I sit in silence
A hopeless white light ahead of me
waiting
just waiting and
. . .
This opaque taunting hour you say.
I'm caught up in it I say.
The worlds spinnin' around.
We're stuck in a waltz.
It's constant ebb and flow.
and Stubborn unending movement

Rick from Toronto, Canada

I love it ! Extraordinary visuals occur all around us, all the time, and why not at home? I have been snapping pictures of weird light shapes on my walls throughout the year as the sunlight moves across the windows, and when I post some of those one day, your photo above will be a direct thematic link to that sort of aesthetic.

11 Jan 2013 2:29pm

@Rick: The ceiling just seemed to be lit up with these dancing shadows, I couldn't resist... Definitely lots to catch around the home especially with shadows. I hope to see those when you do upload them!

Superbe rendu sur le plafond de cette lumière ventilée garantie première fraîcheur! Le jeu des ombres projetées donne une idée du mouvement de rotation des pales...
