Life In Painting

I’m walking…. In a world of paintings As a portraits, Unfinished, incomplete and yearning, Wanting perfection though fictional, a picture of inspiration, infinite depth and meaning. On my canvas, I want…. Soft breezes; With tales to tell, Great winds and thick fogs; Complications and obstacle in life, Huge rolling waves; strong emotions and feelings splashed on, Mountains and peaks above the clouds; Achievement and success; Shining sun and twinkling stars; real friends an extra hand, A drizzle on a spring landscape; Blossoms along the path; smiles at end of all. Standing in the present, Eyes like colored crystal turned back at my past, A pearly tear for memories, Hands out front; Welcome the future, Fair bright light; perfection in infinite joys. A perfect life, On a canvas; finished with talent, Life as a painting, My life in a painting. Not many has perfect lives, But many desire it, Though only a handful work hard for it.
