Painting of My Life

Folder: 
My thoughts

The artist prepares

His bare white canvas

He takes the brush

and strokes with against the cloth

A hazy shade of grey

and self doubt

He paints lush green vallies

Of serenity and peace

Stained with a dark red

of blood and tears of war and love,

Trampled violet flowers

Of what was

Dabs of black here and there

For all the pain and strife....

All this, in the painting of my Life.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I met an artist that was trying to peddle his art work to anyone who was willing to give up a few bucks...and one painting imparticular caught my eye...It described me and my life and all the things that I have gone through...I never caught his name...but he still remains in my heart...
