I was stunned,
Totally stunned.
The picture swallowed my heart
As it appeared before me.
The multicoloured blue sky
Merging into the sea.
The valley ahead of me,
The sandy path flowing,
Flowing below the rocks,
The rocks escaping,
Escaping from the sand.
I walked slowly down
Looking all around,
All around at the beauty,
The beauty created,
Created in my mind,
In my body,
From the brush of the artist.
I followed the path,
Followed the path forever,
Towards eternity,
And beyond.

A fine write Gold.
Thank you Orchi.
You've really done the painting proud - one I shall print off and keep with my collection - thanks so much Andy.
Thank you Michael, I am most honoured.
ANGELA HERE - GOOD MORNING - UNCLE ANDY Your Poem is a fitting tribute to MIKES artistry - He is blessing to this site ! I cant believe BRIAN & I are now together for Time & Eternity ! Town for lunch and Christmas Shopping together. I loved last Christmas being with Ruth in the Middle of the NZ Summer ! But of course I did miss my OSO GRANDE (Big Bear) BRIAN. Love ODE to JOY love to sing it with the Hospital Chorale when we go round the Wards on Chrismas Eve. Physios have Chrismas & NYD off not even ON-CALL. Brian & I would like to go SKIING but its tempting fate before the WEDDING ! PAPA didnt mind me being Married in an Evangelical Church (Hes more catholic than the Pope !) BUT a Reception in the CHURCH HALL - WITHOUT WINE ! was a BRIDGE TOO FAR ! So BRIAN has arranged to use the College Restaurant and we will pay the Staff & Students who come in to arrange & serve it it will be **** ! Have a nice weekend & enjoy CHURCH. Please check our POEM on the PLANETS and HOLTZ - URANUS ~ Thanks !
Blessings to YOU & YOUR Lovely Joyce
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
