Meraki

Between the fingers

she held a charcoal

and ran them through the canvas

making tresses so beautiful..

the portrait breathed..

in monochrome,

as the sparkle in the eyes

reflected a million dreams

that she held..

She swept across the face

and the lips bled

in grey..

slowly transforming into 

a painful smile

leaving an indelible impression of

melancholy.

Her spirit surfaced

as she laid her desires to rest

with strokes under the neck..

planting kisses, as she 

dug deeper into the details..

The picture came to life

even when it was half done!

She had everything, but sight..

and she painted with colors

of her soul...

She called the canvas

her Meraki...

Meraki (Greek): the soul, creativity, or love put into something, the essence of yourself that is put into your work.
