Feeble hands and weary eyes
Bereft of hope
Warmth, which they fail to hold
Bleak morning, dull sunlight, grayish gold
Geometric lines on his face
Age… an insane painter.
Frail skin, winter’s easy prey
Eternal cold, on his way.

You have so beautifully drawn the parallel between the frail lines on an old face and the twigs of the tree in winter that both appear charming in their own way 🙂

Beautifully worked image 🙂 As the Vampire Bat is centuries old, wandering around the Carpathians and having bad teeth, he feels this one a lot more 😀 😀
