And as I listened...
Tones, textures, treasure of time
Passions bold, lyrical and gracefully divine
Sounding brush strokes of the perceived
Color, form, in expressions conceived
Drama, musical portraits in soulful splendor
To the artistry of ALL in sweet surrender
Breath, heart and light, this beckoning to heed
The music, colors pulsing, 'tis the Creator's creed
Hear I the canvas in tones of passion and reflection
Touching all sensibilities in sounding perfection.
