Your Gaze,
Engages and Arrests
*
Simultaneously
you consider us,
all the while
scanning your own inner depths
Eliciting us to do the same
*
your Lapis robe, that of a high priestess,
shimmers satin, perhaps velvet
*
Cloth fit for a Queen
*
the intricacy of your extended curls
merging with
the embroidered gold geometric trimming
crisscrossing an immanent bosom
invite us to wonder
Are you Man, Woman?
seemingly You Are Both
*
the Orb and the Mudra compel
us to ponder the Nature
of your Presence
the Meaning of Your Maker
*
there is Enigma
there is No Enigma
*
Salvator Mundi
*
Love it Keren!
Merci Andrea! Love to see you here!
Oh Kiki, fabulous!
Thank you Paula! So good to read you!
This ekphrastic poem is so well done, imaginative, beautifully-worded, and full of feeling.
Wow Jimmy, love “ekphrastic”, thank you! Your appreciation means a lot!
So powerful, yet calming. Thank you for the call to wonder and ponder, which is much needed at this time. xoxo
