Analysis of Grief Painted woman

Candida Bailey 1982 (Houma, Louisiana)



Have you ever seen the grief painted woman
Lost in the abiss of this weary place
In the mystical thoughts trying to hide her pain
Consuming her like being trapped in a exotic maze
She finds refuge in the impressive creations of her mind
Where in this mystical world she created everyone is kind
So in her masterpiece she is the enchantress with factors of love and time
Through enlightened impressions of her visions formed and refined.
