The Artist

A walk along a lake-side road, and my love for nature inspired me to write this poem...

Staring at the canvas; vague
imagery becomes a reality.
The first stroke of the brush is
the beginning of a masterpiece.

Fields of wild flowers amid
ornamental grasses create an
envisage of cool waters trickling
through moss-covered stones.

Illuminating a golden glow, the
sun's light emanates through
trees of green. The warmth
embraces a narrow winding road.

The landscape permeates the
painting; absorbing all the colors
of the rainbow. Upon approval,
the signature signifies completion.

An artist sees through the eyes of
their soul. Time, along with love
for nature; produce yet another one
of 'God's Creations'.
