I do this now
for love
I've known
yet could not give;
For tears
I've cried
alone for you
for swallowed words
and strangled hopes
I do this now...
for Sharon.
This page is, again, in the blue cursive style
and is an explanation of the pages which follow it. It is the author's
pain and lonliness that prompt him to share these thoughts with us.
Bordering both right and left sides of the script are depictions of people,
(a man on the left and a woman on the right) represented in vague forms.
Both figures are white and tan in the center, but slope to a black point
below the torso. The figures form the heads of check marks, the tails of
which form an arch above the poem as they intersect.
The legs of the arch intersect with a geometric
flourish, which is almost heart-shaped, but pointed at its upper corners.
The interior of this arch is a white field containing a colored flower
blossom. This,
perhaps, represents the joining of the two bodies (as portrayed by
the figures and the check marks) in true love (as shown by the blossom).
This entire picture is on a background of
a clear, blue sky, textured only by the high, misty clouds of a sunny day.
This sky is over a landscape of green, rolling hills with a small stream
in the center of the page and trees at a distance on the right. A
solitary tree stands on the left in the foreground.
The picture seems to be lighted from the arch
and not by the sun, which is nowhere in sight. The whole is done
in watercolor.
