Crosswise Matisse

Your art          your notes         your style
So varied        so wise              so true
Opened           then drew          close to
My eye            my mind            my heart

My eye            my mind            my heart
To love            to learn             to know
Your craft        your theory        your technique
Forever           you made           so unique
