Poem written by the model after seeing the completed painting.

Dancing with the filament of dreams
I take this guilded cage
And place it in the enchanted forest

There I hear voices from forever
Call in the darkness
And lightning penetrates the silence

Still..... time passes
Like a chain around my throat
And destruction fulfills the hours

Yet.... when the clock strikes
My bleeding heart returns
To gnaw at my embittered soul

Take this breath and cast it forth
Take this flesh and let it rot and decay
Take these bones and grind them to dust

Now stripped of physical reality
I strain to catch a glimpse of life itself
But this prison obscures my view

In the trembling shadows of eternity
The emptiness stares coldly
And frozen in time...... I take my place
