Shadows Within

In the depths of her gaze, a world is revealed, A landscape of shadows, where truth is concealed. The veil that shrouds her face, a metaphor for the soul, A fragile boundary 'twixt the inner and the whole. The tears in the fabric, like cracks in a worn disguise, Expose the contours of a face, where emotions rise. Her eyes, like dark pools, reflect the depths within, A mystery that beckons, a story yet to be told again. The monochromatic hue, a palette of introspection, A somber mood that whispers, of trials and reflection. The texture of the paper, like the lines on a weathered face, Tells tales of time and experience, of trials and of pace. In this portrait, a story unfolds, of a journey through the night, A path that winds through shadows, towards the light. The artist's hand, a guide, that shapes and molds the form, Revealing the beauty, in the broken and the torn.
