How tranquil the painter upon the hill
Backdrop of Mountains overlooking ocean
Such gifts he is given
–
Standing in tall grass where tall trees once stood
I need to create but this canvass is not mine
These tools are forced on me by bigger people
The frame is cheap pine and weak joined
The canvass unevenly stretched with too little gesso
Two colors on a plastic pallet
One brush
What joy if there is no freedom
So I paint a cave within a Mountain cove
A place to hide
A place to hibernate
–
…and the painter is gone

This also a deep breath of stillness..and longing and also shade in the moonlight..the cave sounds inviting…
