She was newly risen into the heavens

"Love"
Acrylic on canvas (2016)
by Francesca Cannatella

She was newly risen into the heavens.
She wanders lonely through the night
the small white pilgrim. 

She never lifts that veil from her face
hiding one part
and laughing with the other close to us. 

She was newly risen into the heavens
and saw through her pale purity 

legs tightly intertwined
and faces alive in another sky.
