Her skin ablaze with time’s events
Her eyes downcast, lest thoughts revealed
Her mind a maze of life’s contents
Expression masked - a folded shield
She bears her tapestry of years
In red of rage and purple coy
Green of envy, grey of fears
Blue of sorrow, orange joy
The structure of her face defined
Tenaciousness on brow-line firm
Her inner strength on jaw designed
To stand defiant, on her terms
Ochre flares of vigour seek
To hint at spark in hidden eyes
Gentle contour, soft of cheek
Her loving nature in disguise
This vibrant woman, captured thus
In all her radiant, glorious hue
Her character bestowed on us
Each glowing shade, a vital clue
Our artist sees her in mind’s eye
Each brush-stroke brings his vision forth
His canvas yields, without decry
Impression of intuitive worth.

The artist had caught the multifaceted nature of his subject in the varying auras of her complexity. You have given a wonderful song to the visual portrail, your adept pen has added greatly to the artist brush, thank you for your depth of preception.
