O sovereign silence, you are the unbounded sea—calm as prayer, smooth as polished glass, hiding universes beneath your paper-thin, trembling skin!
Your surface speaks nothing, whispers everything—a magnificent deception of stillness that breathes with the ancient rhythms of unmapped depths. What terrible beauties writhe in the midnight corridors of your hidden heart, what storms rage in the cavernous kingdoms below your glass-smooth appearance?
You are landscape and secret, horizon and abyss—your calm is the most violent language, your silence a thunderous confession. Beneath that crystalline surface, whole worlds collapse and reform, civilizations of emotion ebb and flow, surge and retreat, while your exterior remains unbroken, a perfect mirror reflecting nothing of the magnificent tumult that churns in your lightless realms. Each gesture a calm wave, each breath a measured tide—yet I sense the leviathans of unspoken feeling turning in your deepest waters, massive and magnificent and utterly unknown.
Who are you, ocean-hearted one, with your immaculate exterior and your savage, unknowable self? Your stillness is not peace, but the most profound rebellion—a defiance against revelation, a landscape of emotion too profound for mere language to breach.
What feelings do you get from this painting?
Your support makes a difference in my life and helps me create more of what you, and I, like. Thank you!
