The Paintbox
.
All the colours of words
Contrasts and
Shades of meaning
Music revealing feeling
The paintbox of our lives
Whether in neutrals, pastels or
Vivid, livid living hues of
Lightness and brightness
With traces of shadow
Eclipsing the sun
From time to time
Immemorial…
Ethereal…

Colours of Life
.
Some lives appear to be lived in Technicolor®
Others in palest gray
Do they denote shades of happiness
And do they change from day to day
Or perhaps they reflect personalities
Contentment, excitement, nervousness
Joy, hope, fear, fretfulness ~
It remains for the artist to decide
Which colours predominate
And which colours will override

The Fabric of Life
.
Weaving, the warp and the weft
Creating patterns and designs,
Tapestries reflecting the twists and turns
From birth on the path towards death.

Look around you, if you dare,
There is beauty everywhere,
Beauty in the mountains tall,
Beauty in the grottos small,
The zillion different shades of green,
The spectrum of colours,
The scale of sounds,
All together know no bounds.
.
And all the creatures in all the world,
All the life that lives in earth
And sea and sky,
And that includes both you and I,
Live in symbiotic bonds whereby
Upon each other we rely
For the wants of life
Which we have squandered nearly dry.
.
We are not the masters of the universe,
We are not the kings who rule the earth,
We are here to live God’s plan,
Our God who is the great I Am,
And we his servants to do His will
And bid our ego’s to be still,
Giving God the glory He deserves,
Holding nothing in reserve.

Twilight
Twilight
Twi-light: twixt day and night
Where blue skies are coloured pink
And the dark slowly falls on all,
Blankets and subdues tints and hues
To blacks, greys and hints of blues.

Sidey’s Weekend Theme: 19.08.2011 – Sunset

Sunset
SUNSET
Darkness cloaks the earth
Silhouetted ‘gainst fire in the sky
Reaching, stretching way up high
Streaks of orange, red and yellow
Stunning pyrotechnic show
Colours pale and fade from sight
A monochrome scene
Drawn by moonlight

My Japanese Maple
Changing Seasons
~~~
Summer is almost gone
And Autumn’s on its way
Trees of green and red and gold
Stunning scenes of coloured leaves
Against an azure sky
Each season is its own reward
But nothing can compare
With Autumn’s exhibition
Of splendour to the eye

Rainbows
Colours painted in the sky,
Beauty in the air revealed
God’s promise to both you and me
Man’s separation has been healed.
Blue sky above, blue sky beneath,
And ‘twixt the two a verdant green
Of grassy hills and leafy trees,
A calm, serene and pastoral scene.
The unspoiled beauty of nature
Is fast becoming a stranger
To city children who live and play
In concrete boxes stacked up high.
