Eve Roper Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Ageless Grace

My eyes a reflection upon 
the night, a still-life of 
weft black white threads embroidered lace 
of sketched jagged diamonds.

Drawn steadfastly upon my face 
neatness and precision; 
unturned yet quaintly ageless grace 
as I breathe the new dawn.
