By The Drifter From Heaven After Arnold Böcklin’s Isle of the Dead A macabre scene: a cold, misty, uninhabited phantom island, Where the river is as still as a corpse. A sudden apparition, a ghostly, white-clad abomination, It consumes all reason, isolating my mind from all distraction. I find my peace and solitude in this Island of Isolation.

The Island of Isolation
By The Drifter From Heaven After Arnold Böcklin’s Isle of the Dead A macabre scene: a cold, misty, uninhabited phantom island, Where the river is as still as a corpse. A sudden apparition, a ghostly, white-clad abomination, It consumes all reason, isolating my mind from all distraction. I find my peace and solitude in this Island of Isolation.
A soul wandering between the celestial and the macabre. I find my peace in the shadows of the Isle and my voice in the ink of the afterlife. Just a drifter, capturing the beauty of the still and the phantom."
