A Viola Portrait – For Abbey

Violet woods
and azure eyes
sit in string tones of the
viola portrait
a temperate plant
in nature like the
gentle painted pansy strokes
show her soft pale skin
beautiful in violet tones 
shy the movements of her
antique face

sing viola portrait
lift those who see
your small bloosoms
in wonder of shades
of mauve
smell the scent
of your rich sound
and taste the resonance 
of your flowing youth
in song, sweet voice
you sit in wait
of the virtutis amore

your finest virtue love, a viola portrait of song
