Painted Heart

I saw you in the painting, beneath pastel skies As if I knew you and seen the gleam in your eyes Shining in the landscape by the light of your smile Every silent word in a colorful paintbrush mile Where have you been until now? Bypassing dark hours, thoughts tied in ribbons somehow Renewed by the blooming flowers Inspired by something strong, unbreakable There you are, seeming unreachable In brushstrokes that created trust I picked up the painting and brushed off the dust Suddenly, it was all so beautifully clear You are in my heart, always to be near Within a golden sunset lovingly made In a painting that will never fade Heidi Sands 11/13/18
