When you sweep the corners
it may be for a choice of words
yet the subject is not there
but you have heard
listened to some ghastly news
or was horrific,
unpleasant...
must it be bad to be worthy
acceptable to the hand that writes?

When you look at an empty canvas
wait for the material to speak up
govern your thoughts
but if you let yourself go
just allow the hand to do
its own brush stroke
must it be a worthy stroke
to produce a work of art?


The answer lies in the hand that paints
it issues from the pen that writes
still the mind can move objects
but it interferes
with that spontaneous touch
as you wait for words to come
or lie prostrate
to paint a subject

There has been many a time that my mind cannot find the words to express my thoughts and feelings. Those are the times that I am greatful that my pen and paintbrush each have a mind of their own and I just let them run with it!

Good to read your thoughts! ~ or are they the thoughts of your brush and pen?

Love & Light,
Linda
