*Phew p,:-) Now this one took some work. Done in Apophysis 2.06c, Nero Edit, and Infranview. Rendering time: 14 hours, 22 minutes. Poem included below. ~~~~~~ The Birth of Random Sound I saw there in the face of the sun, an outline of those things first felt ages ago, when my skin was new, was budding. Then I heard the tinny cascade of the fountain and went to be baptized into hardness, Would you like to finally hear what happened that day? I went to the voices we all hear. ~~~~~ Unprepared for their verity, their mixture of love and hate dealt undiluted and even handedly. I melted down from the inside out, I heard their arguments as my new gospel, I covered my eyes in shame, opened them and looked, and then covered the eyes of my heart. You are the eyes of my hearts lords, I am shackled and *I* will not remove them, I must stay until the song ends, though, in my quickly gaining experience, it only deepens only gets more aggressive and intense. Everything I have is noting to it. It obliterates me. I try to grab something. I reach for a seed, for a plant, for a love, for a mom, but I keep going towards the voices we all hear. And I keep wanting to more. I’m slipping frantically, mud slapping against my wrists and hands, I’m slathered against fighting. I cannot save myself, It knows the perfect randomness.
