Wand

painting by .....Mark Swensen

Wand

My mind transported to peace,
Conjure famed lost, golden fleece!
Change canvass; into sacred scenes!
Beautiful; passionate dreams!

Lift the heart with oil or pastel,
Stir legendary wishing well!
Wings to soar over mountains!
Quench thirst; with holy fountains!

Mental pictures; without harm!
Talisman of mystical charm?
Power in thine hand; given?
Or from gifted sight; and driven?

Concepts so cherished and fond!
Your paint brush, a magical wand?

Good to see Jim inspiration found in quality art and mirrored back in your enchanting sonnet.
You craft it so well , in what you see and then translate back in uplifting words, always positive, a force of good always venturing forwards,
in all your works.
And all superb to read and get swept up and carried along with.
Thanks Jim and will catch up on more of your latest tomorrow night.
But in the meantime take care and I wish you well my friend.
