A million worlds apart Ellen Rönn
A painting astounding With serene brushstrokes and smooth texture Natural harmonious colors In a large silver-arched frame. The room with a peaceful atmosphere A painter creating The creak of old bones in movement A croaky voice but impression of softness Portraits, landscapes and aircraft. A lived-in face With kind blue-grey eyes and a courteous smile They young man yearning for vivacity through expression. The stories he told of adventures Like walking the tightrope I used to imagine it tied between two skyscrapers; high in the sky, a small figure balancing on a very thin rope My vivid imagination exaggerating the actual story. A reality of once a pilot With beautiful diligent flying and spontaneous lived life. We are now oceans away A million worlds apart. 6
