Poetry and Artistry This canvas innocent of touch Bare, stark and white Calls for strokes of soul Imbued with color and light. I lovingly behold Shades, hues and tones By the light enfold Sweeping streaks of colors ephemeral Etch upon the soul. Reflections the darkness will not be silenced it calls out and the light hears its cry. colors upon a palette yearnings within the soul. with paint and brush I hold this moment of change. |
