The Painter






His soul flows onto the canvas with the grace of an angel

Brilliant colors emerge portraying every emotion in his heart

His brush and inner thoughts dance in perfect cadence

Creating the perfect window into the essence of him



He is an artist forever willing to bare himself to all

Though he may not control the world he lives in

The oils on his palette allow him to become the creator

In jubilation, his spirit dances with precious freedom



Brilliant shades of blue, purple and red

Give birth to the essence of life itself

While yellows, browns and greens

Provide the foundation of mother earth



He smiles with the rare serenity his creation gives him.

For even he discovers more about the artist as he gazes.

With contentment he signs the reflection of this stage in life.

Claude Monet
