As I See You

In my mind I have a view,

timeless, ageless, all of you,

unrealistically true

the nature of this image,

timeless, yes, but not as in

some arctic cage,

lifeless, cold, and carved of stone, no!

but a warm, a living visage

not an impression solitary

but a collage, a gallery

each piece bringing now so

vivid a portrait only my eyes see,

the future tense of memory,

imagination filtered through reality.
