Draft Tarpaulin

once more the rainbow paints in anthracite colour

graphite expressions of grave charcoaled remains

the lost beauty of obscure pastels is shadowed in pain


the horizon threatens rational geometry in obtusion 

bursts cohesion and kindness at all angles and seams

refuses to square the cycle of life flattens its resolve


yet the philosophy of love prevails over all illusion

perspectives are formed in the heart-mind of souls

painters are mere reflections of palettes and canvas

A poem to ponder. Grave charcoaled remains, the 3rd and 6th lines.
