In the shadowy depths of slumber
Artwork by Sebastian Morpurgo
In the shadowy depths of slumber,
Where beds align in orderly number,
Unfolds a canvas, veiled in mystery,
Aquatic vision of failed history.Beneath the surface, in a workshop lair,
Beds merge into a rhythmic musical air.
Above the blueprint of a submarine, stark and blue,
Unite with the sleeping quarters to create something new.Rows of beds, arranged in fours,
Each a refuge where dream reigns and soars.
Barrack echoes, a common theme,
Shared existence in a ocean-blue dream.Turquois on canvas, a technical hue,
Precision blends with playful due.
Cold machinery and resting spaces warm,
Visual grace of a surrealistic charm.The mystery deepens in muted glow,
The beds invite a quiet sleep’s flow.
Dreams unfold, unbidden,
Against the backdrop of war craft hidden.Mechanical schematics and dreams entwine,
A paradoxical dance of long lost time.
From the submerged slumber, questions arise,
Where human spirit and the mechanical lies.The vision lets thoughts wander,
A creative secret, a piece to ponder.
The captivated beholder reflects on the theme,
In this submerged dormitory where reality may teem.Reflections flow in cool blue sheen,
A journey through time, surreal and serene.
The beds, anchors in this watery space,
Merge with the blueprint into a surreal embrace.The eye lingers in this enigmatic haze,
Where beds and blueprints weave a labyrinth maze.
In submerged slumber, the ordinary bends,
Above a dreamscape where reality transcends.
