A CONCEIT

Give me your hand

Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.

Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss

of love.


For me
Give me your hand.


- Maya Angelou

This drawing was based on this poem, originally to be giving to some friends as a weding present. I mounted it badly and decided not to give it to them, but the design is still lovely. I love the poem and plan to either redo the piece, have prints made, or remount it one of these days. Silly me for using carpenter's glue -- pretty permanent stuff, that!
