Beholding the mystic beauty of the mountains-
of taverns, lush greenery, the flowers in full bloom,
the artist settles down to give life to the empty canvass
the enthralling beauty around- for virgin thoughts- giving room

The rhythmic sound of the flowing stream
Inspiration for the facile strokes of the brush,
chirping of birds nestled on trees-manifesting music
-romantic tones to make first time lovers gush

Fragrance filled air carrying the message of love
conveyed with abundance from flowers in season,
giving lifting touches on the canvass
is the painter who works with a nouveau-vision

The snow-capped mountains giving way to a green-top-
the silhouette of the mounds seemingly kissing the sky
as the painter moves his brush with artistic flair
to touch the hearts of the fallen- motivation for a new try

The final touches to the work enabled
by the appearance amidst valleys-of the Rising Sun,
cradled like an infant in his mother’s comfort
the artist gazing at the exquisite portrayal of nature- well done
