Eternal Sage

In the depths of his eyes, wisdom resides, A sage with secrets, and a soul that abides. The strokes of the pencil, a dance on the page, Revealing the essence, of a timeless stage. The hat, a crown, that adorns his noble head, A symbol of knowledge, that he has bled. The beard, a river, that flows with the tide, A testament to the journey, that he has survived. The texture of the paper, a tactile delight, Inviting the viewer, to touch and to ignite. The sepia tones, a nostalgic hue, Evoking a sense of history, and a story anew. In this portrait, we see, a reflection of our own, A journey through time, where wisdom is sown. The artist's skill, a masterful display, A celebration of the human spirit, in all its way.
