Yesteryear on Canvas

Brush strokes, one defining a face
Each element coming together
Features come to light
Supple structure, curves
Rounding every angle
I see each part becoming one
Paint adorned on canvas,
Love shines through the
Circle of an eye,
The corner of a smile
Captured on canvas.
Smells of oils and acrylic all around
Found in my yesteryear, my today.
Beauty in many a moment
Held on walls of time.
Portraits with voices heard
By those who listen.
I yearn to know their stories
And see through their eyes.
