PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stepped away for a moment



pausing,



a short lifetime between

the strokes

that

left little to

see beyond a notch in the



window revealing

more of the same



……..dreams of sailboats,

seabirds or smoke-plumed steamers

………lie in leaden wait

……...for others to mold

……………and free



my reality,

the forlorn cry of seagulls

circling off canvass



my defeat, my failure

to paint the cry

so I walk

away
