Genevieve Guadalupe – Horizon

Horizon       Poem by Kairul Ahsan

He and she are like

The distant horizon.

It appears as though,

The stooping blue sky

Meets and embraces

The stretching blue sea.

 

Their colors match,

As they seem to meet silently

Like passionate lovers.

Trying to discover together,

The meaning of life.

 

As one goes nearer,

The sky begins to move afar!

Love is at its best, when

The beloved is seen from a distance.

    This piece is a very effective use of fabrics. You have created depth and movement with the different shades of blue. The inking over the fabric creates interest. The quilt mirrors the mystical nature of the poem.
