In This Life These Moments

The Portrait of an Artist

Warm and gentle, strong, steady

The touch of an artist soul

Life's moments frozen for all

What will not pass this way again

Everything changing, growing, sleeping

Ocean swells in quest of rising power

Two birds as lovers their eyes locked

The door to a room of history keeping secrets

The strength of unbroken chain, the majesty of ship

A haunting of past adventure like Rhyme of Ancient Mariner

A man and his dog long together with mutual respect

As the web on sleeping buds bound by early frost

Flowers kissed with dew

Lights in night sky colors vibrant

The perfect gaze of a mother's cat

Nature's fury stopped in time

These moments

Seen through artist eyes and captured

Immortalized, art without oil on canvas

For the world to keep

In framed beauty . . . Forever
