Description ~Well of Knowledge~
Delving deep into the mysteries of life.
There's only so far a young man can dive.
Before he loses his breathe.

The Eagles have been far and wide.
Soaring from the great skies and witnessing.
The curvature of the world.
While the finches still nests in the grass.

Until one takes flight and admires the great soul.
Learns from His movements. His wisdom. His lore.
Can one grow above the treetops.
Seer from great heights. And plunge to the lowly depths.

For no seed blooms.
Till it rains from above.

Lovely words....beautiful interpretation.
The birds appear to be aligned with the hearts. If you are worried about them, could you perhaps soften and blur the images more so that they appear to be held within the figures chest like a embryo.

Thanks . Heh, that's pretty specific, I think I'll leave them, but thanks for the suggestion.

I don't care very much for the birds; however, the composition in the rest is quite compelling.

Yeah, I'm still a bit unsure about them, but I think I'll leave it. I wanted to encorperate them somehow, they're meant to be 'manifestations' of their hearts.
Thanks

Maybe if they were positioned slightly above, or away from, the figures it might work better?

This is excellently done! The colors, poses, movement and relationship between the two people all work together to create a seamless piece--the birds are also stunning (and fit wonderfully with the poem)!

Another beautifully successful piece! Thank you for sharing!
