Brave artistry
by Deb
Beeswax
and pigment
deep colors of earth
and heat
blister burning heat
should the artist
falter
Tools too
too hot
to handle
irons hot
stylus hot
any hot tool
this painters brush
run the wax
over the wooden
canvas
or some surface
that can withstand
the simmer
of this creations
burn
chase the wax
mold and sculpt
dab and drag
drip more
hot thriving color
watch for the moment
when cool
and lovely images
rise through
the ancient fire
corn wall
by dot
thorns hiding in cotton blooms
illusion of softness inviting
radiant thistle announces the arrival of bees
with the promise of honey's
sweetness
Very nice, Deb! I especially like the last stanza.
My favorite part:
"when cool
and lovely images
rise through
the ancient fire"
