DC challenge: Swoon

I did this series of ink sketches with the same theme

a woman escaping feelings of sadness and pain

wanting what she thought would bring her good feelings

and thus the word 'swoon'  arose

this is the poem that inspired the drawings:

take flight

she wanted to fly to the heavens
maybe sit on the moon
be with the stars that twinkle in the sky
laugh with the heavens and swoon

yet it was not time for that flight
the rooted trees held firm to her
the task was set
open to the earthly plane
allow it to permeate her soul
~

it is always interesting for me to do more than one piece on a similar theme

if you feel comfortable sharing:

do you like one of the drawings more than the others?

can you tell me why?

I hope you had fun with this theme!

Invitation for D.C. challenge: Swoon

take flight

she wanted to fly to the heavens
maybe sit on the moon
be with the stars that twinkle in the sky
laugh with the heavens and swoon

yet it was not time for that flight
the rooted trees held firm to her
the task was set
open to the earthly plane
allow it to permeate her soul
