Picture Perfect
Up the hill
Around the bend
Across from the old Wood house
Lies a small family grave yard
Fenced and untouched
In what used to be wood swamp
But is now acres of open ground
There are two stones
And two trees
Entwined
I painted it at sundown
In an attempt to recreate
A more permanent
Champagne sunset
It has hung over the kitchen fireplace
For at least a year
Last week I saw
An Indian
Leaping onto a horse
Rearing into the sunset’s glow
All in the leaves
Of two painted trees
Moved by "Superlative Senses" I wrote this as comments
