View Full Version : The Other Side - a fantasy

There is a place where birds
kiss the water behind mountains,
where the sun is bigger than my dreams.
Where reality
is only a distortion
in the mirror.
It is the other side.

The moon shines
in endless day,
Rivers grow huge trees,
the rocks bear fruit.
Stars dance around the sun all night.
It is the other side.

Birds swim, fish fly and flowers walk,
no wars, guns or dead in action,
man only a spectator with no power.
It is the other side.

You and I, part of the Earth
in the beginning and the end
where mind and matter keep recycling
in peace, no gold, no silver,
the garden being just that, a garden,
It is the other side.

Oh Fabs, this is wonderful in every way. I love the image and your vision. (you might want to change mind and mater to mind and matter...)

Stunning, stunning, stunning.

And talk about the picture and the words complementing each other.

How did you get Al to put on the Anhinga suit?

I'll tell you my secret. I made up the pic for my signature. The a couple of days ago, I looked at it to come up with something to write :eek:

Gracias, Monsieur!

That's so lovely Fabs. I wonder about the Garden of Eden and what heaven will be like one day and I have to say I wouldn't mind seeing THIS on the other side. What a lovely image and imagery!

Thanks, Vincent! It is not cloning, but the remains of another layer that didn't get properly erased :o
I'll see to it in the original.

Thanks, everyone!

Fabs, I'm so glad I ventured into this (new for me) forum and happened upon your inspirational piece. Your poetic ear matches your artistic eye. A vision of "the other side" is what keeps all in this creative endeavor. You've come as close to capturing it as anybody. Thank you!

I've seen this many times in your signature, and wished I could see the large version.

Thank you for granting my wish, and setting it to poetry! Wonderful!
