Soon
Far from home is where I’m going
but I’m going to be traveling light
Taking only a full bag of memories
Soon
When the time is right
I’ll be ready for my spirit to take flight
Cause I cannot stay where I have been

In my minds eye I can see the textures of my life
The bold exclamation of satisfaction
Next to a wild, glorious, unbridled burst of creativity
Hiding behind the unfulfilled dreams of recognition

But in the flash the painting’s almost complete
the canvas looks full ‘cept for one blank spot
waiting for that last peaceful splash of …
disappointment?
But, before then I’ll sign it
so all will know that it was my creation
and this most interesting (to me) piece of art
will be not just finished, but
only ready to be hung
on the wall
it’s creator visiting it’s creator
for I cannot stay where I have been
