Description Misplaced in a tiny moment this time slips away from us,
like every doubt we’ve shared has me constantly counting backwards towards a cluster of empty promises.
Mostly I was just sitting there with you wasting another hour away from moving forward.
I was surprised when you caught me stuck in my head again,
contemplating every bad thing in this world like it was all a fault of my own.
An unfaithful me wanted to cower in a corner every time a flash of guilt triggered another reason to look away from you.
A misstep over a gap in my judgment was a free-fall into a persistent pit of regret.
Anticipating a negative reaction I tensed up waiting for this peaceful moment to fail,
When You playfully nudged me and said,
“Where there are shadows there is also light.”
I shrugged and accepted that you were probably right.
You smiled and I sighed.
Somehow you’ve always had a way of turning my attention to the brighter side of things.
However I don’t know where this life is going.
And I kind of feel like it’s pulling me away from you,
but I hope you know that I’ll take every memory of you with me,
wherever I go from here.

At first, I simply saw the clockwork in the picture, and thought that it was just that--a simple concept doable by pretty much anyone. But then I saw the lower left corner, and my opinion about the piece changed entirely. This is a great concept and very well done.

I agree, I focused much of my attention on that particular area. The rest evolved around it.

This is amazing! I normally don't like this kind of picture, but this is so stunning. I have it opened in a window for half a day already and whenever I look at it again, I'm amazed anew. I simply love the colors in this. They create a very strong atmosphere, or how to say it. The details are also stunning as well as the scale. Adding the small people was a very nice touch

You're most welcome I like both versions. The previous one looked a bit more interesting in my opinion (but I already have it saved on my notebook so I can look at it again and again, anyway, hahaha ). It's your piece, so do whatever you like with it, of course. This version has a bit different atmosphere, but it's a stunning one as well
