In a dream I saw myself floating by
in a boat on a river
always searching for somewhere
I could find a safe harbour
for all that I am.
I searched every part of the riverside,
but I could not stop the drifting,
I was too restless…
Silently I watched my reflection
in the mirror of the river.
I saw the lines of sorrow etched there,
eyes staring back at me,
blaming me for letting things
get so out of control.
These dreams that I had to let go,
all the hopes that I have abandoned,
kept me here…
For love knows no boundaries,
it has no face.
Where I should have loved myself,
I ended up hating instead.
All the pain that I kept hidden inside,
all the despair that never found a way to escape.
Now when do these emotions stop
running away with me?
When will it stop…
While I am so caught up in the hurt,
life seems to pass me by.
The river of dreams,
kept safe by the light of hope in a world
that still exists beyond all reason,
beyond all doubts…
And I never realized that the river
was the home I have searched for all my life:
The home for my wild heart…

This is so beautiful. I just love this one.
This wouldn't be the one that you did in response to one of the painting/picture prompts that we did last year, is it?
It is the one that was inspired by "The Lady of Sharlott"-painting by John William Waterhouse...
One of my favorite paintings!! It was really amazing seeing it in the Tate Gallery in London))) One of those aweinspiring moments;)
I imagine! I saw alot of Pre-Raphaelite paintings at that exhibit in Florida and it was incredible. I've found a new passion)))
Just remember that Waterhouse wasn't a Pre-Raphaelite... He was never a member of the Brotherhood. His themes are very similar though:)
But yes, the Pre-Raphaelites are wonderful:)
Oh. I just assumed he was. :)
Disadvantage of knowing an art historian. always right :-p
That's because I have a book about Waterhouse, and I have read some of it (not just looked at the pictures;) And one of the things I read was that people assume he's a pre-raphaelite, but he never was))) Of course they were probably very inspired by each other)))
