Veronica's an Image of the Truth

February 27, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is portraits of women.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem for a woman as beautiful as light:

Veronica's an image of the truth:

Eternal, good, and beautiful, as light,

Reflecting off glass panels angled right,

Offers up its golden garb as proof.

None are but are the clothing of desire,

Infinite in perfection and in yearning,

Cool as stone and blasphemous as burning,

An icon of eternity on fire.
