green cup of the sea

"Speak, memory, that I may not forget
the taste of the roses
nor the sound of ashes in the wind;
That I may once more taste the green cup of the sea."
~Daubmir


I've never seen any of the world wonders with my own eyes.

But neither words nor pictures can do justice to what I saw on that fateful day so many years ago in tasmania. But somewhere in my heart, the memory remains, and I can only hope the image lives on, that I may draw inspiration from its serenity, and as daubmir so elegantly puts it, taste the cup of the sea.

I'm not really the romantic type, but when I die and if my ashes were to be scattered, it would have to be here.

A quick sketch of sorts really. Might do a proper oil of it someday...
