Painted Glory

A pink red sun hovers above my bed
Beneath the sea I ride my horse aloft
With streaming mane through currents swirling path
To see his majesties evening show
Every day I wonder how he thrills my soul

He mixes up his paints and flings his brush aside
Against the sun to spill some yellow glow
Then blue strokes turn satin sky purple soft
Jagged mountain rises up, falls back to the sea
And last the waves are strewn above the shore

You have such an artistic, poetic, heart. Do you also paint? As an avid painter, I just have to tell you I have my own studio, and I adore being in there.

No, but I've been a fused glass/ stained glass artist for many years. And a photographic artist all my life. I do photos of waves that people think are painted. It's always what I wanted to be when "I grew up"...
