Reflections of Unpainted Beauty

How many times have you gazed across these silent
waters of beauty?
The fragrance in the air has the gentle aroma of lemon,
mint and the licorice like aroma of anise.
You wish you could capture the exquisite grandeur on apainters canvas of white.
Sitting, thinking, listening to the watery sounds.
A blue gray foam, with touches of hazy white caress the floral
bouquet upon the weathered shore.
If only you had the artistic hand to paint in the delicate shades of watercolor,
but alas you do not,
so in words you paint the beauty you do see.
The sky a brilliant peacock blue,
strutting her radiant plumage
across the heavenly expanse.
The subtle shade of red blossoms of bee balm that attracts the
bee and the hummingbird.
Silvery gray leaves of the artemisias.
Wild fern in all shades of
delicate and vibrant green.
Goatsbeard the color of golden wheat and as soft looking as a
feather blowing in the wind.
A tree her bough hanging in regal spender making an arch for all to enter
into her garden of
an artistic montage of beauty.
Flowers of lavender, soft colors of yellow gold and in the background
a beautiful garden of lily pads.
If only you could capture this beauty on a canvas of white.
You would share this reflective beauty
in shades of watercolor.
If only.

Love Bon-Bon

BonBon, you made me want to dust off those brushes, haul that white canvas from behind the dresser and splash it full of color.
A beautiful montage, lady.

So many times I have looked out across the lake and wished I could paint and capture the quiet beauty. Glad you liked.
