I came upon a portrait rare,
And couldn't help but stare.
My thoughts were deep, most intensive.
Why was she so pensive?
Sitting by a scenic window,
With head in pensive bow,
Elbow perched upon wooden sill
Sitting thoughtfully still.
White and blue dress she enhances,
Cross her skin it dances.
White top drapes over her bosom,
Blue cascades her bottom.
With head atop her long, sleek neck,
She holds her pose in check.
With crowning glory loosely bunned,
Curling tresses, I'm stunned.
Her face is young, pure, innocent,
Expression reticent.
It beholds a beauty so rare,
With skin so soft and fair.
Long, slender arm with hand on knee,
Adds to her rare beauty.
Flute of white wine in other hand,
May help to understand.
Her pensive look most curious,
Could it be spurious?
Here did she just happen to land,
Or was her time pre-planned?
What matters does she contemplate?
Observers could debate.
Has she done something she regrets,
Memories to forget?
Has she been treated wrong some way,
Her pensive look dismay?
Is hers a matter of the heart,
Did recent lover part?
Who knows why Mona Lisa smiles?
It's been studied long whiles.
Will same be said of pensive look?
Will it long be mistook?
I can only tell what I see,
Gazing in reverie.
Her femininity is pure,
I'm drawn to it's allure.

I didn't seek permission from the woman who shared it, and still don't know if it was a portrait of her, but easily could have been after seeing her cropped face. It was an exquisite portrait!
