Deftly you hold

On Canvas your sway

A moment that bolts

Forever at bay

Gently you swish

Brushes or wands?

Birthing at will

Vistas so grand!

Of purple rains

Of sacred bonds

Of mermaids distressed

Of dragons and storms

Tell us more stories!

We know you have more

A Pernicious win­­­d

It blows our way

It Whispers low

A Ruinous play

The Calm of streets

Now Paved with thorn

A truth untold

A life unborn

How far they go

What tales they tell

What prices they pay

For journeys to hell

Such Bravehearts all

They stand amidst

A torrential fear

Now Go...

Befriend a woe

Divorce a view

A virtuous path

Yours to choose

A Joyous Truth

Beyond no one

Clear as Sun

None is lost

Not here, or nether

All that was

Is here, Was forever

My bruises of past
Forever, eternal
My well of tears
Dry, infernal

A long respite
A lilting tune
It pours today
Not a drop too soon

Shades of time
Find color anew
I watch you fall
They watch it too

So cry I must
This much is due
Many tears to shed
Not one for you
