Destination Surrealistic Imagination.

Paint and canvas, 
pencils and water,
four simple things, 
four keys to me.

Happiness reflected 
in bright colours.
The sad times 
come in dark hues.

The canvas 
doesn’t question me.
Just goes with 
the brush flow.

From canvas I have 
no need to hide.
No pretence, 
no bottling inside.

A friend 
with no voice.
Yet can find 
such powerful imagery.

Brush strokes 
gentle and sensual 
are as much part of me 
as the harsh vigorous dabs.

A thousand words 
a picture speaks, 
consenting me with 
the freedom to be.

Fine delicate lines 
that lead the eye 
on a journey 
from reality.

Destination surrealistic imagination.
