An Artist For the King

~An Artist for the King~ She stood there in awe Captivated by His eyes of peace Attempting to recreate on a canvas the love that He delivers to mankind She is new at this She just met Him the other day She only had to see His eyes once to know that she would be His subject She only had to see the rainbows and prisms of kindness trapped within His eyes To know that He was a wonder He is a one of a kind He is the King She wanted this painting to be the most perfect painting of all time She carefully arranged each brushstroke in a smooth circular fashion It just could not be done For there was only one that was perfect and that was the King No imitations No substitutes Nothing When she finished her work she presented it to her new Master He stood there in awe at the heart that she had for His eyes Within His heart stirred a deep unexpected emotion A single tear fell down His cheek And in amazement she captured it an mixed it in with her paint “It is finished now, she said Now I have captured your essence I have captured your true emotion You are a King filled with love for your people And I will study your eyes forever Written by Gwendolen Rix 9-9-14
