painted

Watercolored Woods

thinned by the rain
what remains
intensified by space

I fly in your sky
and swim in
your ocean of blue

circle upon circle
the center
echos the edges

the wind
picked up the sunset
and spun it into the sky

rare beauty
she blooms mostly
for the forest’s delight

masterpiece
the window’s view
of painted pines

painted
by sunlight
on black velvet shadow

the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks

the world
was illuminated
through an art glass sky

a filagree of trees
upon the painted sky
a tribute to the end of day
how beauty never dies

water colored
in greens and cream
hosta leaf

A lace of branches
across the painted sky
the world is dressed up
and waiting for time to pass by.
