Northern Exposure

This was my version of the Northern Lights. I will do this again as there are so many different combinations of colour that are found in the Northern Sky when the lights can be seen and I want to capture as much as possible. This is one of my favourites. I adore the use of shadow and light in both paintings and photographs. Sometimes a simplistic colour scheme brings about the most dramatic results.

Clinging to Blue

Stealing in, you take my time
Even within memory’s break, you linger
Too alone in this midnight clutch
And I am soaked in words unsaid

The darkness racing through these veins
Has faded the light
And I want you to know
Every time I thought of you,
Every time, it made me blue

And I watched outside my window
A spectrum of colour dancing in the wind
Locked from my touch
And I clung to blue
The only range of me and you

Folding over in effort and affection
Life drifted uneasy
Until it escaped around a corner
Out of my sight and lost to motion

Now the stars fill my sky
And my wishes hold the hope
That Blue is not all there is ~
