anyway I’m feelin out the sadness

John Bauer – Riddaren Rider. Illustration to Helena Nyblom’s fairy tale “The Ring”. 1914
Never
will I forget your face, your frantic human eyes
swollen with tears.
House dark, I sit alone tonight
and watch the storm roll in.
I write these words by lightning-light
and feel them in my skin.
The centre has not held, and yet
the world adjusts its spin
and keeps on turning underfoot.
Don’t let the fascists win.
This was a battle; life’s the war.
Keep breathing out and in.
No storm has yet unmoored the moon.
Begin. Begin. Begin.

Sorry about the long time between illustrations, some family events caused a delay. After I finish the next one in this series I’m gonna start posting with a less strict code of what I consider worthy, since this is meant to be for a portfolio. Once that is released then I can start showing sketches and stuff.
And I, tiny being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the abyss.
