Description

Galaxies of dreams

If my dreams are wide open galaxies,

and my hopes high as the sun.

And my vision is big like jupiter,

why do i still have space for one?


If the moon is my desire,

and my love, bright as a star.

How can I be afraid of your presence,

and how big your wonders are.


If i'm floating through my galaxy,

with all those planet thoughts.

I can use someone to guide me,

measure stars like an astronaut.


Holding me together, 

with a soul sparkling as the milky way.

My mind may wander off sometimes,

but on earth my feet should stay.


So if you hold my hand real tight,

and keep me down below.

We're allowed to float sometimes,

in a galaxy only we know.

Woohoo! I had another collaboration with Sarah from MoonArtDreams  We were both so happy about our latest collaboration, we decided to do another one, and this time the other way around! I made a poem and Sarah made an AMAZING matching, traditional piece of art. I am SO happy! It fits my poem perfectly and it translates the feeling I had writing it, also perfectly.
She told me how she saw my poem and what inspired her to make this incredible piece of art, and to be honest, it's the most amazing way to look at it ; 

"I tried to incooperate as many things from your poem as possible, let me just explain my thoughts that I had throughout working on this piece:

"Why I still have space for one?" is the main topic of these piece. The girl is the "Galaxykeeper" kinda and the caretaker of the universe. It's her job to watch out for everything. Though she kinda dreams about finding true love somewhere in the infinity of the universe and actually spots a human on the earth that she falls in love with. The verse "How can I be afraid of your presence, and how big your wonders are" refers to the fact that she is no real human and that the guy she fell in love with is actually able to notice and see her what has never happened to her before. 
the "planet thoughts" are directly included in the piece, the planets floating around just feature her big fears and worries about what is happening and whether she is doing the right thing.
"I can use someone to guide me" again shows that she is completely in love and trusts the guy from the earth. She lets him guide her.
The verse "but on earth my feet should stay" features the impossibility for her to actually really "love" and be in a relationship with the guy because this is what it should normally be like.
The whole last verse 
"So if you hold my hand real tight,
and keep me down below.
We're allowed to float sometimes,
in a galaxy only we know."
is the promise of her to him that though they're so different and far apart she will bury her worries and try to live their love and give everything a chance." 

Sarah, i love your talent and the way you made my poem speak. You drew it a story and I'm completely obsessed and in love with this piece. Thank you so much for this awesome collaboration.    

Feel free to check her pages out, she is amazingly talented!

I just want to say your choice of colours is spot on. It's so vibrant but it isn't too much to the point it distracts the viewer's eye from the fine details of her hair and face. It looks so clean and organized and all the details are evenly distributed throughout the canvas. How do amazing artists like you guys make such clean watercolour art? I either put too much water or too much paint!

Very good job and honestly, this should be awarded a DD!

Haha, don´t feel horrible! Please, It´s not your fault. A lot of people don´t read the information, and I can´t blame them. I am glad you liked it. That is why I write. Thank you so much for your comment and compliments, means a lot to me!
