Passion

Lindsay Mayeux 1992 (United States)



Upon a plain canvas,
A pale blue sky,
With wisps of fluffy white,
And golden light.
Strokes of paint,
An artist sigh,
Relief is all that's needed,
As passion ensues,
Another gaze outside,
Drawings of color,
Across a bed of grass,
Wavy hills and dirt trails
Of nature -
Do they spring
Into the future,
Or weep,
Into the past?

    Your poetic voice is distinguishable by its simple yet insightful pattern. It is like gazing at a French artist's painting. You have done with words what impressionists of the mid 19th century did with paint.
