Brush Strokes on the Canvas

Inspired by art and about the stages of my life

Brush Strokes on the Canvas

Blank Canvas.  Perfect brush.
Birth:  First brush strokes, light and gentle. Nothing remarkable.
First decade:  Brush strokes are vibrant alive, enchanting and inviting.
Second decade: Brush strokes are even, maturing and challenging
Third decade:  Brush strokes are solid, energized, and performing well
Fourth decade:  Brush strokes are refined, meticulous, determined, and well placed
Fifth decade:  Brush strokes are ripe, precise, and sturdy
Sixth decade:  Brush strokes are mature, full, even, and defiant
Seventh decade:  Brush strokes are waning, but good, solid and interesting
Eighth decade:  Brush strokes are weaker, but well trained, and presentable
Ninth decade:  Brush strokes are fading, a gesture, yet ripe and commanding
Death:  Brush strokes are no longer, but the canvas is full and reflects a life well lived!

Life is a canvas on which each of us paints our own picture from birth to the grave.
