Legacy of An Artist

Pigments of color, form the shapes, that create an image, of you, within my mind. The first aspect, I view within your portrait, is the permanent smile, etched upon, your blissful face, cloaked with the, celestial aura, that captivated all, who have the privilege, of knowing, the beauty, of your soul. As I glance, into your deep, brown eyes, that shimmer, with enthusiasm, I am reminded, of your passion, for all aspects, of existence, that expresses, the lines, that unite to demonstrate, how you always, lived life, to the fullest. Your humor, echoes through, my ears, as I reminisce, of how you place a smile, upon the faces, of your loved ones, who were brightened, by your personality, unique, bold, compassionate, affirming, kind, and irreplaceable. The heart of a saint, courage of a lion, don’t come close, to describing the values, that distinguish, you from, anyone else. You changed, lives on a daily basis; you gave me, memories to last a lifetime. You strum, my heart strings, in a way, that no one else can replay. I now notice, hues of your portrait, are fading, from vibrant, to banal neutrals; the colors of my life, began to vanish, leaving a laceration, of despair. Out of sight, sound, and touch, though you are intangible, you shall never, escape my heart, nor depart from my mind. The brush, never forgets, how to paint, a masterpiece; an illustration of you, shall remain within, my spirit, through actions, that delineate, your legacy.
