Description
This painting is called “ME” and I finished it last month. It is a visual representation of a poem by the same name.
The poem was written by my daughter Zoe when she was 11 in 1988. I did not know about this poem until 1990. I found the poem in one of her schoolbooks a few weeks after she died.
“ ME “
As long as I live
I shall always be
Myself and no other
Just me
Like a Tree
Willow, Elder,
Aspen, Thorn
Or Cypress forlorn
Like a flower
For it’s hour
Primrose or Pink
Or a violet sunned by the sun
And with dewdrops wet
Always just Me
Till the day come on
When I leave this body
It’s all then done
And the Spirit within is gone
The Poem is from a Limited-Edition book called Dragonfly that came to fruition in 2011. The poems in Dragonfly were written by my youngest daughter Zoe and eldest son Duncan.
I now have 5 poems from the book on my website. Prints of these, along with prints of some of my paintings and photographs.
