Once Applied
A touch of Venetian red
next to cobalt blue
beside a bold stroke
of chartreuse green
with burnt sienna
rounding out the scene -
a moment of moments.
The artist’s vision
captured in time and space
by watercolors,
holders of truth.
Every stroke
defining the artist,
transforming the future.
Not one can be taken back,
once applied.
Absorbed,
it blends itself
into the present
of shadows and light.
It is neutral and pure
this moment
and, it lasts forever.

Thank you for viewing my poem and for your kind words. I am pleased that you enjoyed it. I have tried my hand (so far, unsuccessfully) at water color. I do think of life very much like that medium where once it's there, it's there. Now, to make it into a pretty picture!
