The Eternal Artist

The Eternal Artist(For My Brother Patrick)

Time no longer holds you in its’ hands
You are free from the burdens of an ordinary man
Ethereal beings guide you to the artists’ den
All of heaven and earth is your canvas now
Beckoning you to to capture clouds and angels wings
To observe and record the changing scene
Capturing birds in flight soaring through a breeze
Vibrant colors spill from the brush in your hand
At last you have shed the confinements of a mortal man

Hello Franny

Is this frangi? I just read this poem you did for your brother and it hit home for me in a way only I can say it. This image here:

All of heaven and earth is your canvas now
Beckoning you to to capture clouds and angels wings
To observe and record the changing scene
Capturing birds in flight soaring through a breeze

This is imagery for me and I can see the artist as he paints on his easel a picture of green grass and birds in flight (doves perhaps) and clouds of cotton billowing overhead.

I really like this one.

Hope this is frangipangi and even if not I admire your write. Touching verse
