Too many coats of paint

Too many coats of paint
What was the first feeling
Lost inside the layers
Of loose chips and peeling

The brushstrokes on gesso
The inspiration new
The lost fresh expression
The color, tint and hue

In this diversity

In this diversity
A fingerprint is mine
Unlike any other
Across all space and time

Yet insignificant
Trying to leave a mark
Numbers are infinite
In the darkness, a spark

And so we start again

And so we start again
Leaving winter behind
Pushing ourselves forward
Into the sun to find

Another beginning
Letting go of the past
Looking at the future
Where our wishes are cast

Where’s the inspiration

Where’s the inspiration
Another moon rises
Stars look the same in a
Night without surprises

This spectacular world
 Its awe becoming stale
Weary of the grandeur
In a night that is pale

Winter’s white envelope

Winter’s white envelope
Slowly coming undone
The seal coming loose from
A longer lasting sun

The snow disappearing
Icicles are falling
Weather growing warmer
The next season calling

No more the daily bread

No more the daily bread
Today another hole
Where are the words to sing
Blank pages on the soul

Calendar days passing
A week, a month, a year
This breath yielding nothing
A change, a thought, or tear

Enough of the future

Enough of the future
The time is now and here
Shrugging the shoulders at
Tomorrow’s dreams not near

Moments at this moment
Breathing reality
At this very second
Alive and feeling free
