Description

"She was underwater
In the shadows
Was it there, was it not?
I stepped back
A veil in front of my eyes
The water was still and so was she
I dove in with so little breath
In truth I knew
I was too late for death

I had one chance
I grasped her arm and floated upwards
Wanting to stay below in the warm forgiving waters
What have you done
I screamed to the stars"

From the song What Have You Done, by William Shatner

Lewis Black says "[m]usic is like a drug. You hear the sound, and a vision plays in your head." This scene played through my head again and again as I listed to the soft spoken word of the actor who played James Tiberius Kirk on the original Star Trek. This wasn't the scene Shatner saw, but the words, that sense of longing, it poured through me. So I put my everything into this. Everything I knew, all my tricks, all my observations lead up to this art piece. This is where I am today.

A Deviation is a polished, refined piece a Deviant wishes to display in their gallery. Under that definition, this is my second Deviation.
