Touching the brush fragile inpermanent lift to begin He stares conjuring while canvas white awaits his Eyes focus seeing the horizon offered smiling tears Purest cobalt blue not enough swirls mixing blending Adds hues subtle a touch in seeking the perfection Intuition inspires he lives within create the moment New and all revealing driven to externalize colors Treading touch emotions compelled near blind to see Every moment transfixed to breathe life from hope to Reproduce in color his within a heart only to give "Each and every day, I time the waiting wind..."

Very very well done...you have a real talent for this style! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Thank you all your comments kind Hours writing Acrostic style bitten And overtaken with the form Now I find it overrides me near Killing any poems not so inclined You see trapped within I Ought to try something new Undertake something halfway normal Oh he of the many pens (Helen you have no idea) trapped in Acrostic land "Time is merely change.
