The sun danced lightly on the water
sending sparks flashing
as a light wind teasingly
tickled the surface.
I sat at my easel
willing my brush
to capture the warmth
and beauty of
this summer's day.
Lost in my world
of paint and colour,
I was oblivious to all but
the charming scene,
trying to grasp its essence,
until, with the last stroke,
I laid upon the paper
the day's final glow
