The Road To Nowhere diptych is an abstracted landscape, or rather a dreamscape. It is the road that travels back on itself, going nowhere linearly, yet journeys deep. It is inspired by the poem I wrote about my new relationship. Gold leaf, randomly placed on the left, carefully placed on the right, adds the speckle of beauty that the poem refers to.
THE ROAD TO NOWHERE
A happy ending seems unnecessary
when the journey is deep.
When stars awaken you
and love strikes a path.
When silence happens
at any time.
When you fall away
into his arms,
into another world.
The sun within you rises.
You slow down — only for a moment —
but you know you can.
You feel the life you want.
You can breathe it,
almost taste it.
It is not a means to an end
but a path full and rich.
A trek into the unknown
with no light to shine the way
yet every step knows where to go.
There is no happy ending
only a road
speckled with beauty
and trust
and faith.
