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

Martie,
Many images of delight. Except I think that is too close to the cactus. Thanks.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

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

I love the way you give life to your words, Martie...

==================================

thats one hell of a muse...look at the beautiful images he inspired...
you painted us a mural with your words...we can walk into it...sight, sound,smell, even taste the scene. Stunning write of description and detail Martie..

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much ...
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
