Walter Howell Deverell
knew his Shakespeare so well
Loved to paint ' en plein air'
with 'kin' as models in all 'weather'
(Dedication: For Eva A Deverell)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Truth has a way to shine a light,
Opt thus to see what yet may be.
Each strand a play and glimpse of sight,
Voice in clear spree can set soul free;
Ask curious touch to show you how.
Aim to just know the path you take:
Dream offers much right here and now,
Etch a fine show with what you make;
Vouch for beauty as wonder starts,
Embrace sure change in your life quest;
Reach poise savvy with a warm heart,
Enjoy the strange in journey fest;
Live with pure grace the face you own,
Love floods your space with parts unknown.
