Lost Music


The curtain rises, a subtle shiver of expectation goes over the stalls.
I cannot see clearly, it’s a bit dark.
Is this a theatre?
Is this a stage?
I’m tired…
My violin slipped out of my hands
And the music got broken.
The music, is made of crystal,
It’s so fragile.
Now all the notes are tinkling and falling down the stairs,
Step after step,
As coins from a holed pocket.

I’m too tired.
It’s too dark.
I’m too old…


(This image and all the possible emotions related with it are dedicated to an elderly gentleman I met many years ago in a street of Prague.
He was a violinist.
But this is another story.
If anyone expressed the curiosity to know it
-It’s a true story-
I might tell it one day…)

A dream of an image. Absolutely beautiful... I love the mix of elements here . Really terrific work, Marisa.

The objects tell the story, even with the absence of a person...we can visualize who we want to be in the story..

La composition est exceptionnelle.
Les tonalités de couleurs me font penser à des toile anciennes.
La lumière est diffuse et superbe. v
