Contest- J With Four Options...7/29/25
Sponsor- Constance La France
I drew a rendering with love's charcoal
of your face, held in my soul
It's drawn on the cave wall of my mind
believing it would fade with memory
I visit this cave in silent twilight
when the world is still and I'm alone
where I can crawl into my mind's darker realm
holding a lantern from yesterday
to see lost relics and fossil mounds
containing memories
to be dug up beneath my charcoal drawing
that appears when I raise my lantern
And I can see your face once again
