This was a very quick sketch inspired by Joni Mitchell’s song: ‘The last time I saw Richard”. The lyrics are part of the image.

I hope

you see the

light

in every day,

no matter how

small,

and fall in love

with it

even in the dark

-Midara

My breathing is shallow

The air it is thin

The demons are screaming,

I think they might win.

My vision is blurry,

My heart rate is slow,

No therapy can save me,

I think I’m letting go.

-anonymous

We flatter those we scarcely know,

We please the fleeting guest,

And deal full many a thoughtless blow,

To those who love us best.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

It’s sad how

things are most beautiful

When they are ending

Flowers when they’re wilting

The leaves in autumn

the sun when its setting

your smile when its fading

-L.T.N.

Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows,

which the world knows not,

and oftentimes we call a man cold

when he is only sad.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• This was my version of the Tarot card #21, “The World”card. These daily/weekly inktober prompts are all done in sketchbooks. so sometimes bits of the image are cut off in the photos, like the 21 at the bottom of the picture.)
