Poems With My Paintings
This is one of my paintings done from visits down old country side roads and memories from my childhood. NO! I am not that old, but there were lots of places still unexplored with roads unpaved in the countryside of my youth.
Work week ends and I go home, to rest and let stress drain.
So pushed at times, exhaustion weighs, I hardly know my name.
I shed work dress, don the old, to easel I then stray,
To find a time of quality, I'm painting yesterday.
Childhood trips to backroad homes I still can see in mind.
I paint the world of peace and love, a truly quiet time.
When people then would welcome friends, those who happened by.
A man was judged not by his gain, but who he was inside.
Those humble homes, my visions sure, I use to ease the stress,
As there go I to breathe a sigh and garner needed rest.
Too bad those times of quietude are gone and could not stay.
I bring them back to fill that lack. I'm painting yesterday.
