Ode to the Artist of the Sunset Mural    


The sky is colored with charcoal
tints and shades of your soul
that swirl and fly in a celestial sea
that feathers your grace

The vibrant shade of a peacock feather
merges with the underbelly of a wren
the lavender abandon of the rose
has been swept into the opening begonia

Your blue has so many seasons
and to set into the horizon of your day
is to glimpse a color wheel
that has swirled and fused majestic

and where the fire sits into the sea
the desert sand has called
and been blessed with heated sulfur
until the sky melts

The dark bound earth has feasted
laying awed and captured
has called in the cicada’s charm
to hold the heat in perfect harmony

rock me in the sand of your landscape
under the cactus lay me down
fill my need with rainbows of your whim
and nurture my dreamy dare with majesty

you are my artist

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
