Light Dances

Across my fingers

Illuminating my strokes

Swirling bravely, freely

Over my playful canvas

Dodging faux shadows

Always there teasing

Mocking, foreboding

Challenging light's
Redemption

I remain tentative
Inhaling light's promise
Measuring colour values

Brimming in artful fusion

A palette flourishing
Contours revealing
Fulfilling a mind quest
Never before ventured
A landscape spreading
Deliberately, effortlessly
Unmasked, never before
Considered or realized.
