I dipped my pen into the
Coolness of night’s blues
To paint an atmosphere
Of quiet serenity’s rest;

I unraveled today’s canvas
Freshly made of aspirations
So that I can begin to design
A journey into new destiny;

I stapled the canvas onto the
Framework of my inhibitions
To assure that the dampness
Shall not cause it to rescind;

I set my untouched art onto
the stand of principles that
steadies it from the harsh
Brush strokes of restoration;

What shall my painting be?
Shall it be reminiscent of
Antiquity or shall it express
the newness of Neolithic joy;

will this piece become more
than a vision in my mental or
can it be the manifestation of
a lifetime of spiritual direction;

I stand before this new canvas
Untouched by the hands of time
hoping today this will be the
masterpiece I’ve so longed for.
