Purity of White

Clouds, cotton balls, a fresh canvas, a crisp page, snow
White lives free, with confidence and no apology.
Popcorn, whipped cream, milk, cream of wheat
She is pure and innocent, fresh, and comfortable
I am honored to know her.

Freeing herself up from all the problems of the world,
White lives her truth, renewing, refreshing, inspiring
I reach for her to paint puffed up clouds,
It revitalizes my painting, beautiful contrast to the sun.
She makes me feel loved and cherished.

In the evening I sit in awe of her moon.
All knowing, self-assured, watching, enlisting silence.
White freshens up everything
She has a purity that cannot be duplicated.
A combination of all colors, she tugs at my artist heart.

White is a fave for me, the second one is blue. White sand and blue sea, white T.Shirt and blue jeans, whipped cream and bubblegum ice cream, blue skies and white clouds I could go on forever. What I'm trying to say I love white, it is cleansing, but I also love blue. Great poem Caren, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I like red, white and blue but ORANGE and PINK and YELLOW and GREEN in neon are my go-to-girls

Caren, the image floats into our minds as delicately as the clouds you describe.... So aptly presented..... I love the 'c' alliteration in first line, 'enlisting silence', perfect! As a painter, you have an advanced affinity with colour. A beautiful tribute to purity of white....

Thank you very much, Sigrid. I am a neon-colors kind of painting gal. I rarely put in any white or allow any white in my backgrounds, but I do allow it in clouds and eyes. They seem more important surrounded by all the colors!
