Beholding The Beholden

In the Hall of Portraits –
The eyes of the portrayed
Wear sorrow like the moon’s loneliness;
The way the light strikes them so –
Like the light of a distant sun
Bringing to brightness a desolate face.
And yet we stop and look in awe –
Wondering about their wondering,
Wishing they would blink,
And begin to speak.
