Notes About The Poem

contest Komorebi

More Perfect Than a Da Vinci

When all the poetic themes have been written
and all the images created 
with all their shades and shadowed renderings
Would a vision sustain beauty in our souls?

Where the universe in the mind
becomes aware of our thoughts
when a naturally painted picture is seen
filled with wisps of elegant light
drifting through pliable limbs
to form silhouettes without movement

And yet, cascades to the eyes of an artist
whose imagination sees in three dimensions
When the beauty of light
is painted on a canvas of leaves and limbs
bending in the wind like a heartfelt glimpse of tranquility
that penetrates the soul
as it surrenders to Nature's painting

More perfect in its inspiration than a Da Vinci
