Into the Void
These four walls enclosed me
So long I don’t remember
Sunshine or moonlight
Or much beyond broken promises
No one made me
And painted dreams
I glazed myself.
I daub another layer
Actively awaiting the
Jungles Cathedrals Cafés
From my chimeric canvas.

Love the voice in this, Nat! That idea of isolation and the beauty born thereof. Such a mix of pain and pleasure. Beautiful!

“No one made me / And painted dreams / I glazed myself.” I love the imagery and the metaphor there.

Such a perfect and sadly painted isolation. One thing I don’t get is ‘Jungles Cathedrals Cafés’. Is it the name of the painting?

So visual and poignant.

Such beautiful imagery Natalie…leaves you mesmerised. And the picture goes perfectly with the words! Reminds me of so many of us trying to break out of a rut to experience life itself.

Glazed yourself. So perfect no matter how you did it (pottery kiln, painting, makeup). Perfect!

Love this in particular “…Or much beyond broken promises no one made me and painted dreams I glazed myself.” Wonderful.

This gave me a wonderful mental picture of someone with whom I could desperately identify.

I love the feeling of solitary strength in this, and of course the art imagery. Great job!
