At first flashes of lightning
Out of the blue skies of illusions
An intriguing face of a woman
Emerged.
The artist in his inflamed
Romantic state
Created a canvas with a face
That was part of her as a young
Woman
With added features of his most
Important Muse
No doubt?
Perhaps it would hardly matter
As sun and moon stood still.
His art accepted by her
For its colourful composition
She grew strongly on him as
A woman
For a year or two
With more portraits showing
Her personality.
Finally the magic constellation
Of the stars changed entirely
But she still watched over him
Rather like a sister.
An aunt.
A woman who experienced
A difficult phase in her life.
Now the time’s right
He thought
To present her portrait
True to life
At the high-point in her
White-coat
Professional existence.
In a way the artist’s portrait
Unusually to his style
Went beyond it.
This time.
