There is something to be said
For calm water and green trees
On a warm summer’s day
Spent with family and friends
For calm water and green trees
On a warm summer’s day
Spent with family and friends
I sink into my rage
A few grains of sand
Knocked loose by the breeze
Skitter down a miniature ravine
Knocking loose a few more
Along the way
All coming to rest
With so many other grains
Collected in a miniature valley
Slowly filling up
With grains of sand
This insight says as much
About my own life
As about art
Acts of creation, both
But I am learning
To see beauty
In all that I can see
Interpretations
Of a world made
From highlights
And shadows
Rendering texture
And line
