We are but Glowing Embers By Tolkyes Watch

Oil on canvas. 18"x24".



We are but glowing embers

flaming brightly at times,

especially when we are young.

We dwell amidst vine-covered ruins,

our lives shrouded in mist and Wonder

until we are snuffed out

or slowly fade away.



This painting was also partially inspired by the song, "The Voyage of Bran"

(not the 8th century version but the one by Brendan Perry from 'Dead Can Dance'- his 'Eye of the Hunter' album).
