Notes About The Poem

A big thank you to Eve Roper for her kind generosity, gifting me Premium Membership.  It was a pleasant surprise, one that is always more special, when not expected.

Below is a painting by Eve.

Paint Me a Dream - Eve Roper Tribute

Blank canvas
lies naked, cold and pale.
Master painter
paints a dream,
so a man without sight can see.

Master painter's palette enchants.
Sleeping grey pigments weep,
flowing crimson reds drip as
mellow yellows bring sparkle.
Navy blues dribble with royals,
as bright greens drizzle with 
bursts of orange bowing
to sprinkles of gold.

Without a word,
each stroke dances
flowing like the sea,
where calm waves
salute unblemished shores.

Psychedelic impressions
shape illuminations,
creating images
like a mother's lullaby.

Hannah Borke October 18, 2017 at 3:35 PM It's all gorgeous, but the blind don't see it. Hopefully, the Master Painter will provide a miraculous med-tech solution that will bring sight to the blind.
