Watercolors

Watercolor memories paint
 Enchanted mountains in my mind,
 And sunshine's glow upon my face

 Time to reflect and reacquaint
 With friends so treasured and kind,
 Reconnecting with God's grace

 I felt joy, I had no complaint
 With stars above I felt aligned
 Like a time traveller in space

 But time is not without constraint
  Thoughts of a love I left behind
 Beckoned me to a distant place
 
 To enchanted mountains, blue sky
  My saddened heart would say goodbye...

Simple and sweetly emotive. Mixing the shades of dark and light, you have created a soft hued painting in water colors ! Beautiful, dear friend Joseph .

I can understand painting those emotions with watercolors. Moments and feelings collide. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress softly around me. Hugs, Brandy
