To Whom Do You Belong?
When in the height of youthful prime,
And candour gently reigned,
Then feared you not the march of Time,
Possession you disdained.

How fulsome in existence chaste
Were you content to dwell;
And life's pursuits in restless haste
Cast not their ugly spell.

Content without the irksome hand
Of one who gathers flowers.
Content in peaceful shades to stand
Whilst claims were made in bowers.

Then came those hands, clear to discern
Above the heady throng.
How came you for those hands to yearn?
To whom do you belong?

Why sigh you now, with faded mien,
For hands which care you not?
Regretting thus to be unseen,
Regretting now your lot

Yes, I have, alas, succumbed. It truly is as incongruous as it looks and sounds.

I hope you are not too disappointed.

Aaaaaand followed. :D

Anywho, the crane is beautiful. They're some of my favorites - I hope to travel to Japan to see one someday (although I have seen their significantly similar cousin, the Whooping Crane). I just want to pet his fluttery wings here though, lol.

Ah, it's mostly ink and gouache, though the underdrawing was indeed sketched in coloured pencil.
