THE PAINTING:



Blank page before him, pure, pristine & white,
Waiting to capture the first of dawn´s light,
The vision before him, portrayed by his hand,
A feast upon canvas, of all his eyes scanned.

From pencil & paintbrush, outlining & sketching,
The vista of day, from God´s soul, he was etching,
Drawing & daubing, from the awakening of dew,
And the feathers of birds, flying into skies blue.

From his palette of wood, the golden sun grew,
And into emerald trees, hued butterflies flew,
He painted his day, from the adieu of the moon,
He swathed day´s dreams & the sleepy soft noon.

As the day settled down & the evening approached,
His canvas bruised mauve, as twilight encroached,
He´d painted the whole day in the life that he had,
And he knew, if that´s all he did, it couldn’t be bad.
