Word Canvas
/It’s a view I never tire of,
looking out into the wood
Serene and yet dynamic,
spurring thoughts I wish I could
Relate in such a manner:
painted scenes in vivid tones
Touching an emotional nerve
and felt within the bones.
Seeking to communicate
by new or odd conventions
An obvious attempt to try
conveying my intentions.
And yet I struggle deeply
for the proper words to use
Trying for some clarity
that won’t cause to confuse
Each word has its own color,
it’s so very hard to pick
Perhaps a leaf is verdigris,
burnt umber for a stick
And now to take chromatic words
and brush them on a page
In such a way to paint the mind
in pictures that don’t age.
