Blending the colors just so
creating the perfect shade to suit the soul
adding a little of this
a little of that,
testing to ensure proper hue.
Like life if applied too heavily
easily thinned out a bit as the hand moves,
delicate curves to add shade and dimension
a little dilution to achieve the effect desired.
To be content in knowing we can go back
correct the mistake gently
easing the lines into a quiet blend
like a sentence spoken through silence,
the perfect specimen found through diligence,
patience and harmony in each stroke
I see this creation like life in its own way,
always changing
like mood that can be softened with the right touch,
as the water moves the mark across the cotton
I see what I feel
was a calm and quiet peace.
Day number two of my watercolor class and I found time disappearing as I lost myself in practicing the techniques taught, creating the perfect shade I wanted and leaving with my mind lost in a quiet place, pondering the sun upon me as I drove away and just enjoying the moment and happy for the lesson. Peace and blessings, K

When I write, I google a word, in this case images of endless skies, once I find one I like, I just open the mind and let the words flow, takes me about 5 minutes of just letting loose and that’s that. I know, strange, right? The funny thing is, once written, I move on and often forget what I wrote, almost as if it were never really there in the first place 🙂 I’m strange, I know ❤

You find inspiration everywhere don’t you precious?
Do your poems come to you whole like a gift? I ask because it seems as if they descend on you and you transcribe them all once–no doubt a celestial gift 🙂
Sounds like you are enjoying this new outlet for your creativity 🙂 Can’t wait to see the results.

A lovely metaphor for your poem. I think shifting to a different artistic medium is good for us, Kim. A new way to perceive and explore different senses. This post made me want to take an art class!
