Description Ocean Whispers

It had something mesmerizing,
the big enchanted sea.
I could hear its whispers,
when it was calling for me.

I'm a down to earth being,
my feet burried in sand.
My wings took me in the breeze,
and flew me over land.

Into the headwinds,
my wings carried me.
But I kept hearing whispers,
from that mystical sea.

I couldn’t stop the urge,
and stepped into the blue.
It dragged me down below,
there was nothing I could do.

Swimming was too difficult,
my wings were made for flying.
I'd closed my eyes, it was too much,
It felt like I was dying.

It chained my feet, it dragged me down,
the moment I blacked out.
Air escaped, it filled my lungs,
there was no way out.

I used to fly as a bird,
in the sky I should be.
But I was drowning instead,
in this breath taking sea.

So I’d closed my eyes, and made a decision:
‘Will I drown, or will I fly?’
I was distracted by ocean’s whispers,
but my heart belongs to the sky.

Should I trust the whispers,
try to swim and most likely die?
Or will I face my fears, break the chains,
and once again learn how to fly.

When I saw this I felt it was me. Head in the clouds! Love it. I just have to show it to my husband, he will love it! I know it's supposed to be the sea but I see clouds.

Love the words that accompany your design. Perfect

This is such beautiful work;  I can tell how personal this piece is to you. The poem and picture both compliment each other perfectly. So gorgeous!

The way that I see this picture, along with the poem, is as a symbol of following your dreams and not allowing yourself to become submerged beneath the weight of things that may seem shiny and wonderful at first glance, but in reality are superficial and only serve to hold us back. When we go with our passions and dreams, we fly high and can achieve things that truly speak to our hearts, and that allows us to see the world in ways we never thought possible. But, there will always be other things that call to us, things that may not be truly good for us. When we descend, it is easy for us to get dragged down and caught too deep under the weight of the darkness. To many, this truly can feel like we are dying. However, in this picture, the top of the woman's head and her hair are still above the surface. This to me is the knowledge that is still within, the knowing that we can once again shed the chains we put on ourselves, spread our wings and fly. All we need to do is make the choice.

Okay..also..ich versuch mal etwas zu interpretieren! (Klappt in Deutsch bei Gedichtsanalysen und Dramenszenenanalysen ja auch immer etwas, haha)
Ich kann hier ganz klar diesen Kontrast sehen - zwischen Himmel und Wasser - zwischen fliegen und schwimmen/untergehen.
Man wird hin- und hergerissen zwischen beidem. Das eine ist vertraut, fliegen, man kennt es, man weiß wie es sich anfühlt.
Aber schwimmen? Nie erlebt. Nie versucht zu erleben. Und doch ist man fasziniert und das Wasser sieht so einladend
aus.  Also probiert man es mal aus, aber man hatte etwas ganz anderes erwartet, das Wasser ist viel lebendiger und wilder
als die Lüfte, die man zuvor immer kennengelernt hat. Das Wasser schließt einen ein, eine Art Gefängnis, eine Falle.
Am Ende steht offen, ob man mit dem Wasser untergeht oder ob man sich aufrappelt, versucht sich zu befreien und wieder
lernt in die Lüfte zu steigen.

Ganz großes Kudo an dich und an Dianel, das Gedicht und das Bild passen einfach so gut zusammen und ergänzen sich
auch einander total! Einfach nur großartig.
Man sieht, wie viel Arbeit ihr beide da reingesteckt habt und es hat sich hundertprozentig gelohnt!
Deine Bilder werden einfach immer genauer, immer besser und immer...offener. Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten, was 
man aus diesem Bild herausinterpretieren kann und für jeden ist es was ganz eigenes, besonderes.
Wunderschön! <3

MoonArtDreams In reply to FauxFili [2017-04-18 19:01:53 +0000 UTC]

Wow, erstmal vielen lieben Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar und deine lieben Worte!

Deine Interpretation ist total interessant zu lesen und es freut mich wirklich, dass du in diesem Bild so viel siehst! Einfach schön, so verschiedene Blickwinkel auf ein Bild kennenzulernen - also dankeschön, dass du deinen Gedankengang mit mir geteilt hast!!

Und danke auch für das riesige Kompliment! Ich versuche im Moment einfach meine Bilder in eine eher "bedeutungsvolle" Richtung zu lenken, also sie in einer frei interpretierbaren Message zu verpacken Persönlich mag ich es einfach, wenn man sieht, dass hinter einem Bild ein Gedankengang steht, man aber selbst noch gewisse Freiheiten hat, da etwas drin zu "sehen" - also freut mich das total!!

Danke dir nochmal
