Poem from a fellow Blogger on the above painting

as if
the red shining
through the silver
and the words
shining through the mist
of tears and sweat
mingling together
create the very stream
of blood and power
that bind us
to one

The above poem was written in comments by Gerrit Bosman after seeing my painting. A fellow blogger in Holland, it was a lovely gesture and even lovlier poem. I am re-printing it here with his permission. The painting somehow disappeared from picasa and this site, so I am re-posting it with the poem. Fate must have stepped in, because if the painting did not disappear, Gerrit's poem would have remained behind the curtains in 'comments'. Thanks Gerrit!
His blog site address is below. (I've tried 16 ways to get a Link to work but failed. You'll need to Copy & Paste):
