THE BEHOLDERS EYE

Michael Edwards

 

THE BEHOLDERS EYE 

 

Though elegant it’s not her grace,

though beautiful it’s not her face.

The food that fuels my eagerness:

her love, her warmth, her tenderness.

    Person, place, or thing?
    So much said in four lines!
    Love the artwork!

    • Michael Edwards

      Thank you Laura - this was a contribution to a Fusion but I have since tweaked it a bit and thought it worthy of posting in the main gallery.

      • Laura🌻

        Worthy indeed, Michael!

      • Mottakeenur Rehman

          You can only marry Kinetic Penguins in the cold weather - was it recent?

          • orchidee

            It was a Halloween wedding - very scary!

          • lasergraph

            I loved it. We always get great words and great art. Good combination.

            • Michael Edwards

              In my experience of LADIES MICHEAL (over the past 17 years) It is the INNER LADY (love ~ warmth ~ tenderness) that survives and satisfies ! The OUTER LADY (Cosmetics & Couture) is often transient & ephemeral. A LADY like Mother Theresa is infinitely BEAUTIFUL ~ Thanks for sharing ! Love the painting ~ The Village Pub ~ together with the Village Church ~ the Secular and Spiritual Hearts of any respectable English Village ! Yours BRIAN ~ A would be Connoisseur of Worship ~ Wine ~ Women !
