The Sphinx

‘The Sphinx’ Watercolour on Arches CP paper.

Walk fearlessly through the forgotten gates that no ivy will ever conquer.

Let the fragrances lead you to her garden. Open your eyes wide to colours you have never seen; let them climb your soul. Embrace the vast horizon of the illusion of time.

And when in the presence of the Sphinx, she shall ask you one question through her deep swan eyes. Let your senses respond.

The boundaries shall be washed away in waves at the rhythm of your heart; no words shall survive. Wanders and wonders of life braided together in your travels. The softest touch of her wings. Pure curiosity shall save you. And with her lioness claws she shall protect you from all the thorns of roses fallen from indifferent hands.
