The Artist's Way

A blanket of shadows obscures

Distorts my vision

But a wind from the East disperses the clouds.

**********

The mist is banished

To the far corners of the earth

Replaced with a luster dancing upon my skin.

**********

He breaks through the cover

The gauzy veil pierced through

A glittering halo greets my visage.

**********

A glow grows upon the face of the waters

Wild and waste illuminated

The Artist wipes his brow.

**********

The void takes form

As the luminescence

Enlightens the beauty therein.

**********

He uncovers his masterwork

Repairing the cracks with jewels

As the haze is cast away

**********

The gems of the eyes reflect

The darkness must be dispelled

To reveal the treasure within.

About the Creator

LJ Pollard

As long as I can remember, I've been writing and sharing stories. Writing and storytelling, whether it be a humorous poem composed in five minutes, or an epic fantasy told over several novels, brings meaning and joy to life.
