outside the rain fell dark and slow...

I woke up this morning and it was raining so I put on my favorite song that feels like rain to me...(pink floyd--coming back to life)

..this is sumi ink on watercolor paper and is all about the specific line in the song---outside, the rain, fell dark and slow...I cannot add one more thing to this piece or It would sink like a boat. Just as you cannot add another word to that simple lyric---It is the most minimal of works, a shroud of rain and sadness balanced so that the slightest detail or bird or whisper would sink this painting into the dark and swirling drink of lost harmony.




"Coming Back To Life"


Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun
