Captured Essence

CAPTURED ESSENCE...

HE pulled out his pencil and made me appear on the canvas before him- and in all my ways-
I have never seen such beauty- I am truly amazed at his divine eyes for detail, he so carefully payed attention to while RE-creating --- me.... Far deeper than a mere portrait of who I am, but of all that I ASPIRE to be. A true work of art; a timeless reminder of a world of wonderful experiences that most say will never exist, but only to KNOW it exists in me- and HE caught the image of my idea- and drew it-- LITERALLY....

Every facial feature, every curve and every outline-- I'm in awe of how it all matches so vividly with mine. With my eyes, I've seen some days of nothing but tears, but only to have a life where I will not cry anymore, unless it's tears of joy and happiness. With my mouth, I've spoken things that have done harm- but have learned to only speak of peace, prosperity and how I've been blessed. Wanting to leave an impact on this world with my words- and now, I see that-- HE has "drawn" me into his world of artistic bliss. As if he saw something in me- that at first, I couldn't see, but felt was there all along. A visual, if you will-- for the book cover of my well-written life's story in a world that seems to have gone wrong. Only to leave and journey into a place unparalleled to any- and though many may travel, will never understand it's meaning. HE caught the "picture" - and as the world unravels- he has kept me together, kept me embedded, now I can be "framed" into much more than I intended-- a better life has begun for me- the way I used to be has ended.

Now shines a light in me- that HE had to show me- by "drawing" it in detail so I could see... I'm now indebted to his pencil, his canvas, his heart that was ready to share me with the world around him- I'm honored to have been one of the chosen few- he has taken the time to illuminate-- leaving a piece of him, inside me-- that will surely allow to shine through! True evidence that love, expression and passion exist through the use of our own creative minds- and not just by luck- but because it's destined too...
