Watercolor

I held the paint brush trembling for I had never,
painted anything in my entire life but had wanted to;
I began with the sky- in my head I saw azure and swirls,
of clouds drifting, it was all within me waiting for me to paint.
then, I painted flowers swaying in the grass-  oh it was a serene scene,
and of course, there were ducks on a pond floating locked in my memory;
and I painted them dipping the brush in water, then color, then water again,
I was amazed and thought what other nature scenes lay within my mind  . . . .

Your beautiful poem recalls A poem I wrote of Vincent Van Gogh. You captured nature with your brush and words!
