Ovewhelmed Canvas Print

The following poem depicts the meaning behind the painting, written by Giselle Ibarra: streams run down my face as i just lay here feeling as blue as the sky i see outside this foggy window just me and my thoughts passing by like clouds some holding heavier weight than others and some as light as the breeze i cry from time to time not due to a feeling of sadness or despair just feeling the weight of the world over my shoulders a message that life doesn’t stop for anyone not even for me overwhelming me with many questions “how do i continue?” “how do i slow down?” “how do i become all i’m meant to be?” tears fall to water new roots i tell myself why is the path in front of me more difficult? i ask “it’s because your calling is greater” the earth tells me i see myself in the trees the fields of grass that dry out so constantly yet become full again a pattern so familiar in everything around me in everything inside of me tears fall to water new roots a reminder that i too shall bloom again Oil on canvas Measures 14 x 14 in inches Wood frame with canvas wrapped and stapled Signed and dated in the back
