Spatial Illusion

There is a time, when in this space, all things seem a romantic glitter of uncertainty. A lock of hair that always seems to fall out of place and in to my eyes when the wind blows is the one random certainty that I can always count on. What is it that causes this stale feeling that settles in my stomach and causes me to question myself and others. It tickles and stings all at the same time, as if I've been bitten by a lady bug with golden fangs.

A lady bug, with her lady spots and lady blood roses, that is trying to teach me this lesson out of this experience. She's trying to send me a message but is always flying around in circles not knowing which plant to land on. She ended up on a string that was dangling from a broken light and decided to sit there for a while; And for a while she glances out in to the open sky and watches as the sun sets and rises again and she's content with her woven polyester - amidst the prickly scratches that it tends to give her legs.

Like the taste of melting chocolate so is the resonance in her song. The pitch she carries is smooth and milky - only at times does the sting of cold wind make her voice bitter. The song, desolate in meaning and full of hope, rides around the night in search of a harmony - or a meaning - yet fades against the sounds of the other crickets and bullfrogs that chirp so effortlessly at the moon.

The others don't realize how much it takes for a daytime ladybug to sing her song against the dark of the moon.The scribbles of notes and verse still come, though the words begin to loose their meaning. The context begins to shift in to parallels that don't exactly match up, though their purpose is just the same. The thing that one must realize is that it's not so much the beauty in the art but the feeling that hides behind the meaning. It's the effort that comes from a place deep inside, even in a little ladybug that no one can hear, that can change the world.
