Yearning

Always the head turning,
yearning for the unattainable,
out of reach star.

A bizarre unspoken plea
we see in the eyes
as the soul espies a far horizon
enlivened by possibility.

Curiosity nurtures
future dreams,
seeming to enthrall
all who are captured
by the rapture of expectation.

Inspiration came from the Mag 167 thanks to Tess and Mary Cassatt. 

But Oh, my goodness! Now Ada has discovered my yearnings -  I shall be in the dog house for sure...Hang on...I do believe Beloved has decided to pinch my arty endeavour, and join the fun here this afternoon. Well, wonders will never cease!

    What a creative and moving poem. Is this a photo negative of the original artwork? Nice post.

      Indeed it is, plus a photo shop option to alter 'elapsed time', which seemed an appropriate addition. :)

      Cad, I can tell you are a man after my own heart, as far as playing with pictures goes. This one is really striking, and your yearning poem does it justice, I think.

    Truly said Cad! There has to be a starting point for future dreams. Curiosity can often lead to many unexpected journeys and outcomes. Nicely!

    As long as you have no expectation of rapture, Caddoc, after skiving all day today...
