To Blake and Laura Webb From Ryan Anthony Gibson
Written on the surface are such words of grace,
That sketch happiness in lines or color on his face.
Once the ink soaks into the paper it becomes permanent,
And so seethes your love between everyone of his fibers and filament,
So gather we among your greatest fans and supporters of this exposition,
The culmination of all the work and mastery that makes this proposition,
For without the consciousness of thoughts and beauty you extend,
His world would forever be a forgone blankness of which he could not contend,
Of great gratitude to your love, the artist with her brush,
I scratch on this surface, my thanks to you in a rush,
Thank you for showing color, control, compassion, and contentment,
And to your marriage I surround you with all my sentiment.
