My pain and my shame
Hello all once again! This is the third painting of the series and I title it Agony. Actually, there is no sequence to the emotional paintings for who has his emotions organised and chronologocally felt and expressed?
The plains and dark and barren and the sky is dark and cloudy, filled with the fumes of a great and blasting volcano. Even the bright light of the sun cannot pierce through the terrible smog and the winds do not have the power to clear it. For this is the closing darkness.
Behold the great tree that is man (or me). Behold how its boughs are twisted and how it is leafless! It has twisted in such terrible and sheer agony that something within wants to erupt and explode out, crying out in all its pain, not being able to bear it any longer, for all know that the molten larva is hot and what tree may stand against it?
The volcano is the symbol of that frustration in the hearts of those who are going through a terrible agony. It bursts out and belches forth great fumes and molten larva asthe pain has been bottled up too long within its very body and thus it erupts into a flare for it can no longer contain it.
This is the agony with which I have cried many times, where tears have flowed from me like the rivers of molten magma, that which each breath I exhale terrible fumes.
From whence came this agony? Ahh...from many of my other paintings actually. From the works titled Desire, Anticipation, Depression and Loneliness.
Need anymore be said?
I shall trust in the Lord my God for surely He wants us to cry out to Him like an erupting volcano and His answers shall speedily come. Amen!
O Shout to the Lord!! Hallelujah!
