Show and Tell
Write the world a story
–one of your very own–
with a beginning like no other.
Paint a picture only
you can paint
with brushes dipped in days
and nights of liquid life
when it pools and puddles.
Illustrate the middle and
tell us how it is,
with all the color, the light,
the dark and all the in between.
Catch the drips and let them dry,
make the most of the mistakes.
The last of the story is yet to come,
awaiting a frame
and at last the view
as we step back and behold
the work of art
that is your life and The Artist’s
signature which says,
‘The End‘.

This poem was inspired by a note on my daughter’s refrigerator which I snapped during our recent 11 hour painting marathon at her house.
