To Leonardo

To Leonardo

When I walk between the autumn trees covered with Gold leaves.
See the beauty of the setting sun in its red flush of charm.
Waves as they creep silently to break with the rock shores.
Look to the rising suns shimmer in the flowing blue river:

--And wish to gather the beauty of this world in both my arms;
I would abandon them for the art I could never finish.


Prompt:-

"Art is never finished, only abandoned." 
- Leonardo da Vinci
