This Sweet Union

Original Painting by Nipper Sorensen. Acrylic on Canvas. Measures 14" x 11" x 1" (35.56cm x 27.94cm x 2.54cm). This painting is based on the poem of the same name, about friendship and how relationships evolve over time. We have since parted ways - almost like predicted in the poem. But the sweetness of that journey will always remain.   This sweet UnionComplex in its many territoriesNo need to pretendIt's easy all the timeThe history of loversAlways looming withIts memories of timesMade easierBy the forgetful romantic mind Someday it will expire either wayAnd others will take our places Yet, in this moment We choose in toWhat we don't know Save It feels goodTo lay in the grassRestingPartners in beingCall it friendshipOr whatever you want I have no ideaExcept "familiar" beyond this life10/22/2015 (c) Nipper Sorensen
