An artist's mind is always wandering. Waiting for the right moment, I sit quietly drawing a person contemplating.
Where does one seek inspiration? Surroundings? People in one's life? My canvas had remained clean until I heard the song "River Flows in You." This song continues to flow in me. I repeated the song as I drew this person. This person is contemplating. Contemplating about worries? Why worry? Stop! This person's mind is filled with negative images that cannot be unveiled to others. The person tries to runaway from these images. This pain, this person just cannot control? So many things that cannot be said. Cannot help. Cannot say the reason for leaving. Until the person realized the pictures have already occurred, everything was too late. The person awaits punishment and readily accepts it. Has everything gone? Yes. This person believes it has. Wanted to explain. No courage. Will the person be accepted again? Afraid to know the answer is no. This Gift, should I embrace it or detest it? I will not answer. I will never go against natural causes anymore. Even so, I am not going to stop drawing.
It is late now. I am thinking time will heal the wounds caused. They were never meant to be created. I will await with a forgiving heart and will let this river continue to flow in me. I hear water streaming along with nature's force. Never ending. Never ending. I will let all the darkness fade away from my mind and be a light to the people around me.

1001 Nights
She always withdraws from communicating with others.
She waits from sunset until dawn.
In loneliness, autumn comes, spring goes.
Promises once made fly away into emptiness.
The person in her dream still hasn't returned.
1001 nights...
Not one night did she not think of him.
Every thought is overtaken by non-paired butterflies.
1001 nights...
Not one night did she not tear...
All the tears storming inside her heart have frozen.
That night the rain poured heavily.
The petals in the garden all fell.
Those golden chrysanthemum were planted for her.
Everyone tells her to let go.
But she will just smile back at you,
At the heart of her palm are all her memories.
1001 nights...
Every night I see her missing him.
Who is the one causing so much worry on her face?
1001 nights...
Every night I hear her tear.
I don't know how I could come to comfort her.
Let me start from tonight, stand by her, and softly sing
a warm melody for her.
She waits from sunset until dawn.
In loneliness, autumn comes, spring goes.
Promises once made fly away into emptiness.
The person in her dream still hasn't returned.

Not one night did she not think of him.
Every thought is overtaken by non-paired butterflies.
1001 nights...
Not one night did she not tear...
