What lies behind the eyes of a painting
A face of burdened expression
As it shall remain for the rest of her days
A woman of faith you can tell by her jewels
Wisdom has traded her brunette hairs for greys
Perhaps she dreams of a love long lost
A fair prince that has charmed his way into a grave
Is it a prayer she chants for her children?
Is it a curse to be placed on an enemy.
Is she simmering in a green haze of jealousy
Or is she drowning in the sea of dark blue that surrounds her.
Is her dress stained red with the blood of revenge?
Will she ever choose to wear it again?

I enjoyed viewing this painting and the poem. Looking at her creates mystery within her expression, outfit, the way her body is positioned. Throughout reading poem it made sense of creating more questions and wonders. I now question why she is wearing her jewelry, her outfit, along with her facial expression. I imagine if she is hiding any emotions?
