One Stroke At a Time

Another stroke from his brush was gently applied,
Eagerly painting over lie after lie,
Another piece of the canvas dressed to fit the part
Dissipates by the passion of the painter’s heart
Another coat stains the errors from the previous owners
Over time, perfection divine, a transplant from its original downer.
