Short Canvased Poems

Folded between the blankets
of Winter's clouds I found,
The glowing warmth of the sun
peaking effortlessly without sound.

I was thankful for the blessing of it
being so lovingly entered in,
Making the day a wonderful way for
it to begin.

Such colorful rainbow delights lit up
and canvased my dreams,
Leaving me feeling its powerful touch
through its beams....

The circles dialate
behind the minds frame.
Canvased images vibrate.
Paint chipped torn and worn
The vision has become blurred.
rotate, twist, twirl, and stir
The brush strokes.
Its words heard
Ancient and antique this caligraphy
Through this method
your sky can speak
limitless and boundless leaps.
Observe the beauty in these feats.
An artist within broken free
to shape the world inside.
Tho one I wish to see....

that fine day 
wind in my hair 
sun on my back 
i'd noticed your smile
lightening my way we'd 
canvased life's scars 
sudden callings mounted 
above a sassiness 
for peace the berlin wall 
crawled awkwardly 
chains rattled steel doors 
grounded throughout 
salted stone  
an yet you sounded 
the trumpets opening 
rusted gates 
right off the hinges
oh how small i felt 
jesus welp as 
your words finally 
come into existence 
blind no more 
and seeing
i am a human being...

Decisions made, the poem you write, 
Hold hidden meaning from your sight. 
Will never soothe a welling tear 
Or aptly tame a childhood fear. 

A retrospect of yesterday 
Won't reassemble for display 
Or paint a canvased future doubt, 
As colors dimmed by years fade out. 

Just as the roads you chose ahead 
No longer trace the steps you tread. 
How dull the scattered remnants bought
And not the glittered gold you sought.

Listen to poem:

Canvased Culture 
David J Walker

Print on my clean canvas 
Every poem I’ve ever written

On my eyes
	What I’ve seen
On my ears 
	What I’ve heard
On my mouth
	What I’ve said
On my lips
	Every smile
On my tongue 
	Every taste 
On my nose
	Every scent 
On my head 
	Every thought 
On my heart	
	Every love 
On my hands
	Every work 
On my feet
	Every step
On my legs
	Every mile

Use what’s left for the 
Black & White Photographs
Of my younger life...
