I woke up before the dawn of the day
Before the flower buds opened to play
I woke to the smell of paint oozing out of the tube
And canvas a full of dried strokes
I woke to the sound
Of criticism still ringing in my ears
I woke to my soul weighing me down
I woke and crawled to the masterpiece
Masterpiece?
No.
Just scribbles, dribbles, and a mind wanderer's painting
Not an artist's.
I woke up thinking of perfection
And how it wasn't me at all
I woke with a palate in my mind and a finished wonder, a beautiful thing to lay eyes upon up in my head
When I reached for the brush, the image burst
Colors running after water splashes them hard!
It's hard to begin this morning
When I can't see an end

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

-Robert Herrick

Hey, now here's something any artist (especially Casey, long story) would appreciate! Beautiful job Joy!!

And yeah mornings can be long...but one part of an artist's morning is the sunrise, and I don't like that to end too soon.

Watching the poets
Passions' guardian dragon
Moves with the rhymes' flow.

Though my body be
Human, my heart and soul be
That of a dragon.
