Tribute to an Artist

There's a painting, that Mesmerizes me,
So powerful, yet calming For the eye to see
You're compelled toward it
By the emotions it can unfold -
A serene woman kneeling down,
Surrendering her soul to God
Rays of light shine down on her,
Like shafts of gold
God's acceptance ofher, acknowledged
By the adornment of gossamer wings,
A feather floating gently down,
Reminds me of God's beautiful birds that sing.
The colour of this feather is white,
And thoughts of purity to us come to light,
United with a peacefulness, All is alright.
The artist, Johannus Boots, has caught
Our emotions, it's true
For as you gaze, it surely possesses
Every emotion in you
It's called "Surrender"; And the artist named it true,
For it really does make you
Surrender all the emotions in you -
