Description We must pass like smoke or live within the spirit’s fire;
For we can no more than smoke unto the flame return
If our thought has changed to dream, our will unto desire,
As smoke we vanish though the fire may burn.

Lights of infinite pity star the grey dusk of our days:
Surely here is soul: with it we have eternal breath:
In the fire of love we live, or pass by many ways,
By unnumbered ways of dream to death.

-Irish Verse

I really like this.....did you use a special Gradient in apop for this? or did you somehow merge it with an image of flames for the tip of the spiral?

i love the contrast, and my fave part of this image has to be the 'flame' at the top, where the yellow blurs out fantastic!

I have
immortal longings
--William Shakespeare

i'm very attached to the spiral and everything it represents. to some it's just a recursive mathematical algorhythm but to me it means neverending love, peace and joy... it is the very symbol of my immortality, or at least my desires for.



i love this piece, and it really does look like flame... though it still sits in second place to death is an angel.

hehehe thanks my friend. I almost titled it SSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN!.... but nightmares of Jim Carey and that godawful green mask caused a shudder and thus, the alternative, more poetic title

It was either that or "SMOOOOKE ON THE WATER!" (and fire in the sky)
