brushstrokes

you put the paintbrush to me,
your canvas

life just underneath the surface
burgeoning
a thin veil between the tip of the brush and the vitality within

then the colors touch
first the blues, then the reds and finally the greens

delicate strokes of creation

and as they begin to bleed into the layers just below the surface,
shapes take form,
undulating outlines emerge

life...

an exquisite being

you create and i respond in kind
you paint and i become

and while the paint is still wet,
the life within begins to take its own shape,
pushing colors here and there
choosing the
perfect arrangement
that sings your
praise

thank you for the "wows." :) i'll admit it's a little risky for me to post my poetry - it's very precious to me. but i feel this sense of spiritual connection these days that's palpable, and when i wrote this back in november i was feeling that same kind of synchronicity. i'm happy to share that joy.

thanks, again.

Wow is right.

I don't even know what to say, except that I hope to learn more about this type of writing, and that you'll be a guide.

Maybe we can collaborate - I can write the music, and you can be the wordsmith. Might be fun. :)

Wonderful imagery, D. Kudos for posting your poetry. :)

Wow.

Very Wow!
