Today’s debut
illuminating the horizon
A virgin canvas
awaits an artist’s meditations
Each brush stroke
submitting portions
from its palette
Tinges of thankfulness
blended with hope
Smudged by trials
Dabbed with courage
Choices creating perspective
A portrait
of one’s day…
unique and unequaled
Standing back
to reflect upon
a completed work
Grace and love
superseding shadows
Creating a contrast
A marriage –
of dark and Light
Celebrating a commencement:
The Spirit of Love
birthed
within the painter.

I have been writing poetry since grade school; however, it is only this year that I have began to share it publicly. This one was written in the early morning hours, before our busy home was astir. The daisies, pictured here, are from my own garden.
Thank you for visiting me here at https://greenlightlady.wordpress.com
I most welcome your visits and comments.

Beautiful poetry, stunning! The sunflowers made the verses even more vivid. I love the use of the action of painting as a vehicle for the poem.
