The Inner Light

Artwork by @josephlsilver

You breathed

New life

Into someone else's vision

Of me

Your broad strokes

And delicate washes

Literally painted

A new picture

One with more scope

And greater depth

More fueled by

The imagination

And open to greater

Interpretation

It depends not

On technology

But on focus

Carried through

The spectrum of

Place

And preserved through

The vagaries of

Time

I gaze at it

Often

Always wondering

Who that woman is

Whom you've captured

And seeing different

Nuances

Every time

I look

Someday I will have to ask you

What you saw that day

When you committed me

To canvas

Opening up your vision

For all the world

To see

But not today

Today I will simply contemplate

Again

And wonder
