"Deep Sorrow" by Joanne Louise Sheard

Begging for mercy he cried in vain “define me”

“Define me if you dare”

But there was no answer to return in his cries.

Lost and afraid no where to turn, his wondering heart fall in to blackness.

But his voice had carried to the most deepest part of your soul.

To the most deepest part of nature.

Where the tress would sway, where wolf’s would cry to moon light bay….

In the surrounding of darkness, she came…. To comfort one…..

While he prayed for forgiveness…..

While he asked to be comforted to be watched upon….. While his heart felt it had been broken in two.

She came to give him peace,

Though the trees she came…. From the skies… from the largest of mountains.

Mother Nature came to comfort her child and placed her light around him….

The guardian angels came to bring away the bleeding darkness and take the terror away that he had felt within himself…..

While Mother Nature watched once more she returned to her home while the circle of life will begin once again.

“Define me” he spoke one last time in the weeping cries, slowly to part away…..while the angels would lead him to the havens opening door.

I drew Deep Sorrow back in December 2006, I decide to draw this picture after gaining more confidence from doing a day course.

I've been having this idea around my head for at least a couple of years but of course what I had in my head came out completely different on paper.

I did shade it in pencil but I used effects on Photoshop 4 + Ulead Photo Express to add more of a feel towards it. The poem came out of the blue, the fire effect came from playing around and I kinda of liked it...... This picture took me at least three days and I gave this drawing to someone..... It's not the sort of thing I would give to someone but I did anyhow but tell me what you think...
