gentle brush

thCA1S0L72

wash warm hues, gentle brush

across a heart forgotten.

it’s soft caress no sadness lingers

renew it’s every fray and tear.

create a masterpiece, my lovely

erase all coloring of fear.

nuance streamed light and shadows

our layered texture, sweet romance.

and devote each waking minute

as Monet with Lily Pads.

how to say what can not be said

blue

bottomless llyn

pursuing infinite union

i shall overcome thee

nevermore

embracing

your heart

is naturally effortless

unfettered by limitations to

be

amber

ness lay

upon enchanted meadows

i am unable to

part

letters

too little

in their expression

for me to tell

love

abundance

it is

for your tenderness

to what i rise

ever

Autumn

They’ve started. Yes, the leaves change color, turn
from green to yellow, orange to red, and burn
the countryside with glory. Do not miss
autumnal end of photosynthesis.

The yellow, orange and red were hiding down
beneath the green. Fall’s shorter days cause brown
to show, revealing color in less light.
Day shadows into dark. Leaves? What a sight!

The gift

I’m waiting for the lady that runs by

She’s always in her running shorts and top

She runs to where the purple asters lie

And then she has a breather and some pop.

She’ll go and catch her death of cold you know

‘Cos she runs every day, come rain or sun.

There’s some days when she didn’t ought to go

And others when it can’t be that much fun.

I’ve knitted her a little woolly vest

In stripes of pink and blue and white and green

I’ll take it over when she has her rest,

The gayest little jumper you have seen.

If she says ‘No’ and wrinkles up her nose,

I think she’ll soon be turning up her toes.

My Mom has decorated cakes since I was a baby.  In fact I never had a store bought one,  nor did my three brothers.  She only stopped making cakes when her hands crippled with arthritis and no longer could produce beautiful displays of her artwork., I think they were still beautiful but she was so hard on herself, really her cakes and frosting were so good and me being a kid, I hate to tell her it could have been messy and still yummy.

Vincent Van Gogh

Behind my chair at table Vincent sat…
well no, not Vincent, but his Bridge at Arles,
the painting that my parents bought, a pearl
of art. Our dining room wore Vincent’s hat

of blues and greens and yellows, peaceful feel.
A child, I didn’t really realize
how artists brushed their strokes into the skies.
I grew up with the Van Gogh color wheel.

Now, What Else Can I write?

I am now afraid to tell myself the truth

The truth I’m avoiding

The truth that is there, present all the same

Why is it so difficult to let the truth seep within you

The truth can hurt, that is also true

The truth that is true

I’m now real afraid truly

Because I think I would have to face the truth.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Truth- the game of true and lie

It is played every where

Sometimes the truth that is true wins

And even the lie can claim its victory as well

I am not making much sense

That is indeed really really true

But what if the truth is not true

And the lie may have been true, if given a choice

And the truth that is now a lie subsides

This game is amazing

The truth that is true

And that lie that is also true

And the truth that is a lie

This chakra would play its part

The lie may claim its crown

But the truth can also steal it away

Because after all truth is quite true

And the lie can indeed be a real lie.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The true colors of the nature rise

Sweetens the wind blowing by

The true flower emerges from within a bud

And the wind bathes in the scent of the truth

The soil truly nurtures a plant

The wind really blows by

Sweetened with the taste of truth.
