A Collaboration of Brushstrokes

He pulls himself to the frame, And lets his instincts take control. He then takes a few steps back, And attacks the canvas from his soul. He blends the colors smoothly, With his fingers and the brush. He’s unhurried as he paints; He never gets in a rush. He adjusts the frame gently, And from his heart, he gropes. He lets his genius take over with, A collaboration of brushstrokes. __________________________________ For Abe Lopez an Artist, Poet, and Friend.
