In response to a surreal painting of Nathan Mohinsky, a talented artist from Melbourne


An evocative and compelling piece!

Imaginative creatures conceived by the subconscious are many times more tantalising than the real--
this is the might of the mind!
Scorpions pirouette,
sand tastes like crushed cinnamon,
mirrors drink the heat.

Vermilion poppies lilt,
nebular bruises mar the dusk,
zephyrs drink their glow.

Opal tendrils writhe,
sylphic breaths gild ebon tides,
vellichor unspools.

Sunset kisses,
the ocean’s skin.
Orange light cradles,
in the waves' arms.
And the sky’s darkness,
finds a home,
in the ocean's heart.
Wish to see it someday, in reality....
I was afraid,
searching for light,
until I realized,
the dawn was born from the night.

Fall once, rise twice....
isn't it? :)
