Life is a Painting

Clouds and Light

 

Life is a painting
Each brushstroke a story lived by
Like clouds passing
On an infinite blue sky

Sometimes a story cracks open
Letting the light shine through
Touching a deeper sense
Of what we know to be true

Without the changing clouds
The painting would be less
The myriad colours of life
Our egress

    • Leslie that’s a truly poetic and beautiful comment, couldn’t ask for more than ‘capturing a ray in a word’. Wow, I wonder if that may lead to more writing…. Thank you much!

    • Seonaid, thank you so much. The photo really spoke to me, but like sound travels slower than light, the same counts for my words, I’m more than happy though that they decided to find their way. It’s been a while… 🙂

        • It was a pleasure visiting. Would be visiting much more if summer wasn’t so full on, as can be seen on my far and between posts… come winter and I’ll scratch deeper again 🙂
