The Blue Canvas.

Goldfinch60



I look up and see a pale blue canvas,

Just waiting for natures brush

To paint a picture.

High, high above a white line

Is slowly stroked in the blue,

So slowly, as the picture builds

And that one brushstroke widens,

As time passes so slowly.

There to the side the canvas is paler blue,

The dusting of cloud painting the sky

With such a gentle touch,

That the colour is almost invisible.

Nature’s canvas,

Showing the beauty

Of a pale blue joyfulness.
