Poem Artwork

Inside the frame, a wooden grain, a woman sits.
Her cheek resting lightly on a delicate hand.
Her cherub lips forming a silent smile
As azure eyes dream of past lives.



An essence created by gentle strokes,
No form of clay could do her justice.
The whisper of spirit deep within her.
Her sky, always at the mercy of God.



She exists where east meets west,
Feeding on days gone by,
Swallowing time
As painted flesh sings an eternal song.

Love it, especially the line "Feeding on days gone by" very real in context.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
