Peering through braids
of faces adorned
A question of time
which had passed
His palette now smeared
with wishes forgone
Her time had faded at last

Now a tuck of the brush
replaced his smooth stroke
where once her fair hair had fallen
Though his hands no longer
imitated his eyes
Her image remained fair
and yet sullen

He appears in a court
of crumbling stone runes
Each one revealing his dreams
A search for her portrait
proved utterly fruitless...

Lost within his palette it seems

...just bein' Bluesy

Eventually even that which we love fades away.
