Paintings

Slashing and striking, 
Brushes lay marks on 
Lifeless canvases.
Filling them with breath 

The incandescent lamp to
The buried images of soul's gallery,
Guiding out images lost 
From the depth of man's heart 

Narrating stories told and untold 
To onlookers of every variety 
All these; the magnificence of 
Painters painting paintings
