Loki, desperately ( revisiting an old watercolor with a lingering thought)

“ There are still a few men who love desperately.” J. D. Salinger

My wonderful friend, Drackenkinder, wrote the following beautiful words in response to my painting. I’m so very honored and grateful.

I can love without hope

Yet not hopelessly.

Though I may never again

See the blaze of distant stars

Though their faces are hidden

By clouding sight and city light

Their beauty remains undimmed

beloved in memory

and sweetened by longing.
