Description

Ultrafractal 3.02 - Apophysis2 beta16 An image and some words that came to me for my fractal slammin', gitbox jammin' bud, Mike - who's father passed away a couple weeks ago.... ------------------------------------------------- Sea of Eternity When at long last life-force dims And loved one's souls are called to leave us Be assured this is not some capricious whim This seeming end that so sorely grieves us For they are called home at our Maker's behest To a place of peace, of love...of rest Odd it seems, how an old friend's passing Stirs long lost memories of times together Remember him always - smiling, laughing For as long as you do, he lives forever We come into this world by our Maker's leave We live, we love, we learn...we leave From father to son to son to brother From mother to daughter to sister to mother One's essence lives on and on, you see Ever widening ripples on an eternal sea copyright 2004 - Richard B. Spix Hang in there, bud - he lives on thru you. Thanks for stopping by! :>)

A beautiful tribute from a true friend. This is touching and lovely, and the serene seascape and inspirational poem are both appropriate and comforting. For those of us that have lost loved ones, Thank you, Rick. And my sympathies especially to Mike.

Wow Rick this is a very touching image and poem, I didn't know about Mike's dad, but I know he's glad to have such a good friend in you! You are an inspiration to me, my dad is 81 and he looks so frail and weak, and I wonder sometimes how long I have with him...but you have made me feel at peace, thankyou!

Very moving words to accompany your bright and colourful image which is full of life and Vitality , Rick. Your seaside plants look spectacular against the warm tropical sea with that wonderful orange sun. The fractal globe suspended so gracefully over the water is just great . Nice to see some new artwork from you , my friend .......... c-ya ... Mike
