If Only...
Some mornings I wish I could paint the scene
of beauty that lies outside my window
the canvas would be broadly stroked
in hues of lavender, mauve and indigo
drawn would be the willow so graceful and tall
hiding a well crafted nest built between her boughs
capturing the movement as they sway to and fro
with each gust of wind that whines and bellows
paint the yawning sun rising slowly from the east
with rich vibrant colors of red, orange, and yellow
add the seagulls soaring high on a lofty winnow
lest I forget Red Robin who sings on the lawn
heralding days to come both fine and mellow
Oh what Id create
if only I could paint

"it seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come."
I'm glad to know you enjoyed "if only" and appreciate your taking the time to comment.
And I quite enjoyed your poem "deviance" and added it to my favs.
