Her Escape

She'd had a rough childhood
The traumatic divorce of her parents
A subsequent abusive stepfather

But when she showed up to play
She gave it all she had
With all her heart, all her soul

She didn't know it at the time
But decades later, she realized
That it had been her escape

Our hobbies and passions truly are the life lines that keep us afloat

great words to match image - I think we all have an escape from whatever it may be that requires some solitude

[Shy Abel]

such beautiful words, brought me chills and a beautiful photo to go with those words

[Mona]

Very touching words, that give this beautiful capture a very profund feeling. Love the focus and the negative spaces adds so much, to make this a great picture. And the b-w treatment too.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Very effective shot. POV and bokeh are perfect and match the words. Powerful!

[Michelle Renee]

Music was always my escape....... and now it is the place where I have made my home. :)

[Louise & Ken]

What a beautiful image! Flutes are such a park of the Celtic music we often hear in Nova Scotia, I can hear this clearly in my mind. How touching that though she'd been unhappy, her music will bring happiness to all who hear her!

Nice select focus and great commentary to accompany.
