A broken tulip

A Lily’s Dream

I woke up and started walking.
On the horizon hope
combed her hair.
The sky shrunk to fill a cup
and I drank.

I wrote the poem first and it inspired the painting; white footprints walking up a blue hill (reminiscent of the time between sleep and waking) and turning into a tree, and then a flock of birds. Earlier this year I wrote a newsletter about snakes & resurrection, also inspired by this painting. You can read that here.
