The brushstrokes of love and life
can take us places
we never thought to explore,
revealing treasures far beyond
the limit's of our own imagination's door.

In search of the treasures
of Michael Auguste,
I stroll silently
along a southern sandy beach.
Pelicans, gulls, egrets and sandpipers
sit within his arms reach.
I find Michael by the azure waters edge,
paint brushes in hand
deftly painting proud sails upon the seas,
beneath his toes, warm wet sand
and knees in graceful genuflect,
thanking God
for the gift of art,
seeking the warmth and healing
only God can gift his heart.

For he wields in his hand
a God-gifted power to share
the abundant beauties of the sea,
and all creatures that abide there.

I slip silently past,
not wishing to disturb this special moment.
The birds on the shoreline seem to be
watching his every brushstroke,
in much the same way I imagine
they watched Vincent so long ago.
Their combined concentrated gaze tells me
they are thanking Michael,
for honoring life with unconditional love,
and for his undying willingness to share
the brushstrokes of love and life.

*
For our passionate poet and artist,
Michael Auguste. Namaste, dear friend.
*
May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

There are moments when speech
is but a mouth pressed lightly and

(big angel hugs) Awwwwwwwww, God Bless You, sweet friend, this made me cry as I have been blessed to know Michael through e-mail and instant-message and he truly has one of the most biggest hearts out of anyone I've known so far through my life! He shares the same steength and faith as Lyra did, and is truly an inspiration to us all! (smiles) This is precious, sweet friend, you are another special friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
