Entropy

Painter

my-

Palette was prepared at birth-

Pure, rich and ready-

Ground prepared-

Edges thick with cool and warm-

Mine-

Vessel empty-

Lover of life-

Listless to absorb-

Play-

Sweeping and vibrant-

Seasons surrendered-

The observer and the explorer-

Play-

Flowing here and there-

Dabbling and dipping-

Into light and dark-

Time

Experience cooled-

The brush diluted-

Thinned from colour-

Observing, calculating, adjusting-

—-

At times-

Transparent and translucent-

Glistening as it dried-

Hardened-

Truth emerged-

Crazed and pitted-

All colours merge-

To one-

Entropy-

Sighting layers revealed-

Transfixed, revealed-

Process and product-

A finished work-

Myself-

Myself-

Painter and painting-

Painted-

Complete-

Me. -
