A Painting

 

I glanced at the landscape and moved on

The Gallery was full of people, a busy day indeed

I returned to the landscape, to see it once more

Before me, my eyes read in between the colours

The landscape gave way to my life, the past

I became mesmerised as images flashed before me

My childhood, family, times good and bad

I painted a superimposed landscape of my own

A unique painting depicting my entire life

As I did so tears rolled down my cheeks

Then smiles wreathed my weather beaten face

After the last brush stroke I stood back to view

The landscape had become transformed anew

A modern cubist portrait of my inner self

Complex, indescribable and utterly unique
