Poem Artwork


This painting I am still working on inspired this and  a comment I left on Steven Pattersons poem "Hot Dry Wind"


*****************


 


Bleeding Dust


 


She walked away from barren land


To seek some life {love}


In new found ground


Away from bleeding dusty sands


She found another broken heart


Bleeding with this land


Stark reality now facing her


All she could do was just stand and stare


From dust to dust she soon will be


Living across this barren land


Where hearts will forever be!!


As bitter tasting waters from above


Torched and burned away


Poisoned in time and remembrance


But when time does come to say goodbye


As hot dry wind blow bleeding dust away


And as harshness scorched the ground


To turned clay into bleeding dust


We will rest our heads on barren sand


As bleeding dust will fill our hearts


And with dripping tears in drifting sand


We will feed this once barren land

Tinka, I love that painting. The elephant looks so real. This one would have complimented the poem you once wrote on elephants drunk on amarula fruit too. You know, if I'm not mistaken, Texas and SA have very similar terrains. They are both dusty...with great plains. ~ Sara
