Description

What I used to take as granted
is not beside me anymore:
I see from windscreen the road that goes,
but I feel like I won't reach anywhere,
and I feel like everything fades off...
I am nowhere,
I am nothing
I am a space to be filled,
I am a lost voice.
What I was used to make,
with no second guesses,
with no thankful heart
for it,
since I was thinkin it was
something sure
is now a further stage to aim at,
but I wonder if I have forces to wish to win again all that...
I am nowhere,
with no friends to talk to,
I am nothing
after I lost used definitions
to direct myself to something new.
What I used to hope for,
now doesn't seem that important
and my eyes are searchin for
a new passage to be made life form
I still nowhere,
but I am something anyway
into this void gap,
into the hiatus of my frozen state:
The mind keeps workin,
the heart's still beating.
And any road has to take somewhere,
anyway,
anyhow,
I am keep walkin down there,
and I know flowers have to blossom out.

Pencil on paper, no postwork, 1 hour work
-------------------
This was one of the very few drawings I made while I was under therapy for allergias and stress and banned from pc use, back to this past March.
The feeling is the one of missing, I was naturally missing the friends I have around the world that I couldn't communicate with without technology use.
That melancholic void turned out to signify as well the lack of freedom in not being allowed to do things I considered natural and open to me before the "disease".
That drove me into thoughts of freedom and chances in general.
In the end, I know from badness there's always a path that leads to new awareness and to new stability. I know now, cos I have survived another task, and I got stronger than ever.
Don't fear challenges, you're all stronger than them.:)
Hugs :)
:PS:I chose to upload this piece also cos its title was quite apt: I won't be much around for the next 15 days: for matter of work I have AGAIN to travel Italy to do conferences and debates about Politics and that generally never lets me have energies to surf Internet after the meetings I am assigned at. Plus being in the southern cities of my Country it will be even less easy to find cable connections for my laptop in hotel rooms. So.. don't worry for me you dears, when you might not find me around here... I'll be back daily after middle of November.Saint Ebots then will make me aware of what I have to check once back, heheh ;) Hugs and take care you all. There's always a huge missing of you when I can't speak with you often...But work is work,oh well! :)

:((( Ma che diamine cambia lavoro :( Sei cosbrava a disegnare che mi fai una rabbia ahhahahaha ;))) Sei bravissima, e ciche hai fatto rappresenta egregiamente ciche hai scritto. E nulla v'di pibrutto che sentirsi fuori ed isolati dal mondo. Wonderful ;=)))
Safe travels. You leave us with a fine drawing however.

Good To Hear From You! Glad That You Are Well! Have A Safe Trip! And Wonderfully Done To Be Sure!
Back to the rough style you started out with ;) Where's the use of various pencils? Oh... it was made back in march. In that case I forgive you ;)
Buon viaggio cara Meli, un disegno splendido, una poesia toccante. Ci mancherai. Arrivederci! :)
Much communication and emotion radiates from this drawing. Spirits high and 'till soon! Take care!

Your break from our real world (internet)will be a blessing indisguise as your feelings of loss will once again bless us all with new artwork to admire..........just dont be tooooo long!! ;) good luck Meli XX
I couldn't do that in a month of Sundays, excellent, ~V~
I love the way u draw hair sweety-pie!! Its so fluent and elegant! The character on the left looks like Catherine Deneuve! ;) The expression is so beautifully captured, with her hands against her chest, like if she was cold and the movement of the hair really suggest the wind! The way she looks away wonderfully suggest nostalgia! A wonderfully expressive piece my sweet Meli!! I'm gonna miss u during these 2 weeks...try not to "over work" and rest sweet angel! :)
Splendido lavoro Meli!!! Il tuo disegno a matita magnifico, hai un gran talento in questa espressione artistica!!! I visi dei personaggi sono molto espressivi!!! Il tratto forte e sicuro conferiscono al tuo lavoro una gran personalit
My darling angel, this touches my heart deeply and brings me closer to you in so many ways hugest hugs The poem hits so hard and brings a lump to my throat, the expressions in your image even moreso. You are such a talented artist my angel hugest hugs All the best for your time at work, we are always together in essence ;) Thank you so much for creating and sharing and I pray you continue to grow stronger by the moment :) XXX
Beautifull as ever gallimel. :)
great piece, you have such an expresive style of drawing.. Good luck with the conferences!
Sempre straordinarie immagini da te. Questo mi piace da morire. Stupendo come sempre. Sei bravissima! V
Very beautifully detailed sketch, Meli! I'll miss you too!
nice drawing,, you are an excellent artist as alway...the lady is beautiful... good luck meli..
This is most definitely what you're best at hugs, I actually quite like the heavy linework this time as there's a sense of assurance in it. There's still a great deal of control in the lighter areas. Beautiful pensive expressions, I guess they're "sort of" self-portraits as I recognize that dimpled chin... I say "sort of" ;-) The poem though weighs heavily with a sense of despair, a kind of blindness from being emotionally clouded and not being able to see for far ahead. I'll be thinking of you these two weeks ahead, just remember they'll be gone before you know it and decent times will be back again hugest hugs. Stay well sweetie :-)
WOW! Meli I hate to say that your being sick produced this wonderful drawing, but it helped you to focus on something you do best. Your so talented in writing and drawing! Such an inspiration to us all! Thanks for sharing this wonderful work, and have a very enjoyable trip.We will miss you... Hugss! V :)
wow what a great piece, you have such an expresive style of drawing.. Good luck with the conferences! Excellent and Vote!!!
It is a gorgeous piece of work, and your words cause such familiar echos in my heart. ..... Stay well on your trip, Meli. We will look forward to your return.
My favourite style of yours. A wonderful image. The double portrait is a very good idea, executed even better... Come back safely!
Amazing work!! Love the message!!! Awesome++++++++++++++!!!!!!
... yes, we are stronger than them ... greetings from Russia, take care!
Your drawing here contains such strong emotion in every line. I can see and feel and hear your struggle. I think it's wonderful how you have taken a difficult situation and turned it into something positive! Have safe and happy travels! - Jackie;~)
Wow, this is a lovely drawing. Out of a 'bad' thing last March came this beautiful image. Nicely done.
A really wonderful drawing young lady and you are always missed. Please take care and don't stress to much.
