I lay my colours down

one over the other

creating hues

and shades

that drift like smoke

across the page

creating scenes

that change and change about

abstract curves

that curl and swirl

and change direction

 

at my whim

autumnal trees

intertwine within my mind

with springtime scenes

of life and birth

of waking earth

then softly falling snow

that blankets all.

 

I lay my colours down

 

one over the other

 

destroying hues

 

changing shades

 

             blurring the page

                                 with   slow    sad   brush     strokes.
