The Artist's Ascent

gray0328

 

The Canvas waits — an open sky, 

A trembling Hand begins to paint, 

Colors wrestle — A stormy Tide, 

Every brushstroke sings a hymn while each uncertainty becomes a night.

 

The brushes falter, Vision fades, 

A dimming Star — yet Hope abides, 

In darkened Hall — a whisper sparks, 

The Unknown bends, and yields its Light. 

 

The Song half-born — the Breath withheld, 

Creation’s pangs, a Glorious ache, 

The World may scoff, but cannot steal, 

The Broken Bread of earnest Grace. 

 

Triumphs whisper, not trumpet-loud, 

Quiet Rings of steadfast Joy, 

Though Hands bear scars, they softly rise, 

For Life itself — the Artist’s prize.
