My Day, Tender

How lips become mute and silent When dash of hues ignites ember, My hands dip into oils, intent Curves of boughs soothe my day, tender Bright language of trees on wingers Sending glazed flutters down the spine, As lush tints drench inky fingers And hours forget unbridled time Contours become fuller, plumper Through eyes’ palette wet with delight; Paint gasps on canvas to wander Along wisps of strokes and sunlight Art’s grace leaves rabid thoughts behind Waking still life that thrills my mind.
