this is such a heartfelt poem... as an artist art is a frozen time in the past that stilll lives.

Dear JCB, I adore the contrast of "faded" and "scattered paints" with "mem'ries still fresh". The imagery is tender yet vivid of the loss of someone special. Congratulations for your wonderful win! Warmest wishes, my dear poet friend.. ~Susan
