Part of my "Imprinted in Wood" series. A friend wrote a series of poems and I loved her work so much it just seemed wrong to put them in cheap, plastic frames. The pieces have been so popular I was given permission to replicate the originals (paintings on wood, not prints) with her poems. If you buy this piece, you will receive a handmade remake of the original. You will see and approve both a pencil sketch and the finished painting before it's sent.
The poem:
i have come to realize
that i can be looking directly
at someone and not see them.
i have come to realize
that others can look at me
and not see anyone at all
except perhaps
someone they have created
who wears my body
my eyes, never my heart.
i want only to see you
truly you, really you
all that you are
who, what, why
you are
i want you to see me
how i am, flaws and ideas
and as you see me
i want to be.
