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
