portrait endeavor
by Heather McCuen Dearmon

Your essence flickers
within my soul,
with hues and notions
I long to convey.


the colors unleashed,
I make them speak
of visions too large 
for my frame to hold.


because I have found You
—smiling and ready—
embracing with hues
of incessant love,
there is no thing
my fingers can produce,
to illustrate the spectrum
I have found in You.
