arontius | For TBT - On The Painting Muse.

.....Some people have muses who are angelic and come wafting in on a light breeze to fill their protege's minds with thoughts of grandeur and wonder.

.....Mine seem to be a troop of psychotic flying monkeys. :-)

.....I was trying to think of something cool for TBT in spirit of St. Valentine's Day. But the muses took me in a slightly different direction. At least I can proudly say that TBT was the inspiration. :-)

A canvas white bespeaks of mystery.
The vast expanse of open space enthralls.
An invitation to write history,
To claim our place from empty desert sprawls.

A practiced hand with bold waves storms the scene,
Lines driven by will colour fills behind.
From nothing it is life this hand does glean,
A flame unquenchable with God entwined.

Eyes shining from reservoirs within.
A talent given as a precious gift,
That springs forth to inspire all therein.
Made great by love by which her hand does lift.

Exalted wonders bring a breathless hush.
As love is given life by beauty's brush.

.....With Love, Specifically for TBT. :-)

.....Aaron / Arontius.
