take me down the path
where mighty rivers roar
where salvation is a fallacy
shaken to its core
send me to the peaceful beach
and show me where to stand
forget about the stars above
and have me count the grains of sand
show me where the echoes fade
into the mists of time
ringing out beyond the sea
the bells of freedom chime
move me to the valley floor
from the snowy mountain peak
to the forest of sensibilities
where vaulted rainbows leak
tell me about the dreams I have
and how they'll never cease
where recurring themes of love and truth
whisper sacred vows of peace

This is some masterful writing WL. Whoever taught you your craft of paint and pen, they can be very proud of you and your work. ; )
While I have many influences I am self taught in both and guitar making also . Thanks for a cool comment
Guitar making too? I can only wish I had your talents. You are amazing WL. ; )
The vows of peace is buried under the hot sand;
The vows of peace is beneath the anger wave;
The vows of peace is hidden inside the dead wood;
The vows of peace is shining above the dark sky.
The vows of peace will never cease.
Beautiful poem with beautiful painting.
Thanks M&M I think your comment is better than the poem
Your paint inspired it.
WL, I am very impressed by both the painting and the poem. Love 'to the forest of sensibilities where vaulted rainbows leak'!
Beautiful!
Thanks Fred , I liked that line also
