Clear water, silence.

dreaming of a catch

that long gone, never here again.

Plastic crystallizes into illusions

on rotting wood

death and water

dancing together.

    So simple words, yet they give so much to think about... I often have this feeling when life is shit,like I'm nostalgic for something once great and want to project it on the rotting things around me.

    The way you pair silence and decay really lingers in the mind.

    I mean, that picture definitely complements your words. Was it the inspiration or was it the other way round?

  • Death and water dancing together, I especially loved that!
