Lost in thought

Pour my soul upon a paper,
Paint my heart as if a picture.
Some may view and others blind
Can you hear the shouts I whisper?

Can’t pour enough to paint
The picture of my life
‘Cause the canvas back is cracking
And my hands are getting tight.

And I’ll saddle up my horses
‘Cause I don’t really want to roam.
And my faith assures me always
My picture ends at Home.

But I pour in pastel bases,
And a watercolor flare.
I dip the feathery plume in blue;
To paint a portrait of the air.

The words depict a lifetime;
And the life shows my belief.
The colors deep yet subtle;
Will be final in relief.

I’m ready to be taken up,
To see the view complete.
And once I’m there
I’ll write a picture

Of shining, golden, streets.
  
(annother sleepless night's creation)


- And so it was that time stood still -
