Feminine Affinity

A small child gazes upon the bronze

“That looks like mama!” she cries

The figure crafted of a maiden

Centuries old, yet holds no guise


A young lady gets lost in brushstrokes

Having grown, she can surmise

That familiar feeling she holds within

Can be seen in such a portrait's eyes


She takes comfort in the works now

Seeing messages antique, yet wise

Stored deep inside the art of man

The immortal sentiment of womanhood lies


The author's comments:

A commentary on the immortal relation we may feel through centuries-old art pieces--the innate relation a woman may feel when seeing art that depicts something we still experience today.
