Painting

Motions tilt through shifting planes,
Flat and square--regular at first, 

but then. . .

Ignite the blankness with  roaring fire.
Frost the whiteness with cooling azure haze.
Brush, scrub, dip splash, mark, drag, map.
Make a work of art--
Cold in its inception,
Hot in its realization.

Cool and warm mingle, then mesh,
To form a bond 
To set yet another mind free at last.
