Art: Once I Sleep (original) by Artist Alma Lee

Where once I slept upon the softest vine

with sweetest dreaming

I am now awakened to sudden rudeness

and within my heart there is screaming

Where once once I lied with my lover

and sweetest wine

Now my nakedness bared without cover

in poisened ivy I am entwined

I should have known

my lover warned me in the course of time

where once love was served

now others with hatred dine

Still I remain, in my lover's embrace

before I die in the falling

he will descend from up above

and take me to my Lover's calling...

This is a very personal piece for me. It is about my personal awakening to something I had always known would come, and that quite harshly. At first I thought just keep you eyes closed and welcome sleep but failed miserable. But being awake has now become an Awakening whose truth will define me for the rest of my life ever reminded of my great and faithful lover.

This is an original collage of my drawings, decorative papers and Beeswax and gold leafing details. It is 12x12"
