Out of Focus (Revised)

In
the sky
dreams fade out,
as ambitions
die

Yes! Holly is left behind in the far distance. The picture pretty much captured the essence of the Hollywood dream as you have in this very pervokative Ekphrasis. Thank you for sharing. Lainie

I love the depth of this piece. So much meaning within this artistic view. Ruschas' work, complimented by your blog, reminds me of an art display I saw in Albany. A very intersting piece called "Empty Room". There was an overturned waste basket, a chair set on its' side and a candy wrapper on the floor. Simple, to the point but spoke volumes. Thank you for sharing! Love, Robin
