Description
The reason for this image is that I didn't want to grow up when I was an adolescent. I had a very difficult adolescence.
I've also added one of my poems.
Square wheel
Lurching in the labyrinth of life,
I see dead dreams
ambling with downcast eyes
in huge Garden of Eden
deserted by God.
Something moves -
beat of blood,
pulse of pogrom,
tumbrel of truth,
square wheel
panting on unpaved path.
In white empty room,
child sings nursery rhyme,
bruised little body
hugging teddy bear.
Endeavours of dawn
push through crevices
pale as smile
of disenchantment,
hints of shadows
crack
under heavy steps
of light
crossing itself
with rusty nails
of being,
festering wounds
of time.

Wonderful poem and image! The gray landscape and mist, the solitary youth bemoaning the time of losing the mask of childhood innocence, teddy bear discarded (at least on some level), all create a sad, powerful, but ultimately hopeful image. When we grow up we must shed the illusions that have cradled us. Great work!
Thank you, Redbeard. You have interpreted it very well. You have insight!
Really a great work... If i see that... i feel so sad... and calm... it's like a calm sea... A mistful sea... I CAN SEE THAT!!!!
