Deserted – Original with Frame

Description

In a world of stark black and white,
A.J. Bailey’s “Deserted” draws you tight.
With markers, pens, and charcoal,
A bright figure stands, arms outstretched and whole.

Yellow rays emanate from his palms,
Offering of it to the figures black as calm.
But they turn away, dropping their loads,
Leaving the white figure alone on the road.

Lines of ink drawn upon his form,
Show the weight of this abandonment storm.
The scene viewed from above, behind,
Minimal detail, yet emotions, unkind.

This drawing captures the heart and soul,
The pain of being left alone to grow old.
A.J. Bailey’s “Deserted” is a stand-alone,
A brilliant piece of emotion, heart, and bone.
