The wet drops on my lashes 
Like tears of the sky
In my eyes. 
The sadness of the world
Falling to touch me
I stare down the cloud 
Big gray sky 
It makes me whole
It sees my pain
And lets me live
I feel the evaporated tears of every creature 
Then I know the whole big world...
Its one. 
I belong to it. I am invincible.

Awash With Feeling
'
There are so many poems about rain
And they are all true

Open up your heart
And swim in the new
Open up arch back
And accept heavens grace

Tonight we dine
On nothing
That is old
That is new

Love's potion
Dribbles down over
Drowning sorrow
Baptising deep hurt

Little paper sail boats
From rivulets
To streams
To waterways'
To rivers
Go out to sea

So beautiful! Reminds me of Brautigan - The Return of the Rivers:


All the rivers run into the sea;
yet the sea is not full;
unto the place from whence the rivers come,
thither they return again.

It is raining today
in the mountains.

It is a warm green rain
with love
in its pockets
for spring is here,
and does not dream
of death.

Birds happen music
like clocks ticking heavens
in a land
where children love spiders,
and let them sleep 
in their hair.

A slow rain sizzles
on the river
like a pan
full of frying flowers,
and with each drop
of rain
the ocean
begins again.

I love this.
Very nice work.

I'm curious... how do you use the resin? And what parts of the painting is resin? (I've never seen this technique before...)

akrathan In reply to soarts [2013-02-12 03:36:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

It's impossible to photograph, but the finished piece looks like it's entirely cased in glass. You mix together the resin (I use Artresin), then pour over your piece, then fire with a blow torch. I use a crème brûlée blow torch.

soarts In reply to akrathan [2013-02-12 05:20:45 +0000 UTC]

Interesting!
(Is Artresin sold at most art stores? Or is that a special Home Depot run kind of thing?)
Geez! Fire with a blow torch? xD Very cool.
