Description:
I am, O Anxious One .
Don't you hear my voice surging forth with all my earthly feelings?
They yearn so high . that they have sprouted wings and whitely fly in circles round your face .
My soul, dressed in silence . rises up and stands alone before you .
Can't you see . don't you know that my prayer is growing ripe upon your vision as upon a tree?
If you are the dreamer . I am what you dream .
But when you want to wake . I am your wish .
. and I grow strong with all magnificence and turn myself into a star's vast silence above the strange and distant city . . Time -- poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke

GEORGE TORJUSSEN
Deerfield Beach, FL - United States
Aloha Sharon, Just selecting one piece to kvell over is tough. they are all superb. This one is outstanding in that while the spirituality and reverence for your subject is still there - an added architectural, super organized point of view gives it a regal formality. Love all your work and love my memories of flying in and out of one of your sister islands (Oahu) Hickam Air Field many times from 1951 to 1955 while in the Air Force. Thanks for your kind words about my painting, GEORGE
Sharon Mau replied:
