Hiraeth #4
2023 28x16" SOLD Hiraeth is a Welsh word that means spiritual longing for a home which maybe never was. Nostalgia for ancient places to which we cannot return. The echo of the lost places of our soul's past and our grief for them. It is in the wind, and the rocks, and the waves. It is nowhere, and it is everywhere. A Song Inside
come away to where the sky is purple light scattered wide enfolding meadows of the sea layers of colour and texture
a tree grows, chiming blue on a floating world frozen music skellig longing for home, a place to belong to feel free, uplifted, safe
every tree looks for its forest its sanctuary what we each need a place or person who is a song inside of us an uncomplicated delight sunset calm
someone to dance down the storms of life with you be the slip in the stream of life for you your refuge, landscape and language
trees fall and grow and fall and grow again we belong in this rhythm of life all we need to do is connect and flourish, even if clinging to a haphazard stack of boulders in a mysterious indigo-threaded sea
even then |
