Dorothy On Her Deathbed

The artist in me myself instinctively tracing 
work a share miseries to inspiration making

Shrouded within my cocoon of slashing brush strokes
lost lovely my Dorothy gently softly releases her yokes

A watch seeing graduations of deaths cold colours on her lovely face
ship me lost my anchor my heart lost love no longer in her embrace

So sad...when inspiration originates from someone or something lost. Your poem is a heart-felt tribute. - Gail
