I Sketch a Woman

On this big, wide, silver screen--- 
created, for the grandeur of the crafty 
artisans of the soup, where creation 
of love is the theme, where hate 
does not dwell, I sketch a woman, 
so young and innocent, the flowers’ gatherer. 

Look, she’s still taunting 
the bumble bee, hungry 
for the nectar of the gods.

O thee, Saint of all Saints, I ask you 
please, guide me in sketching 
this woman of my life. Help me, to remember 
her beauty and smile, the way I met her, ‘cos without 
you, this is not easy, for many years had passed, 
since the day she left me, to meet you!
