I absolutely love this tetractys and how you’ve painted imagery too is beautiful! You have a way with words and expressing in such deep metaphors! I especially love the line “ as the natural winter on grass gleams“ love it! “ where the sun unsheathes a barring sword“ soulful! Always a pleasure reading your work! Sending you light always
