Painting eternity, icons - v2

Painting eternity, icons, our national pastime,
capturing our heroes, a moment of grace;
Longing for perfection, seeking to get it right,
striving to be faithful, to the image, to that age.

Seeing the nobility, the gravitas, the moment,
of the images in the emulsion, capturing their faces;
Longing for the power in the lighting, the shades of color,
painting our diamond heroes, so many we have lost.
