I took an easel
went down
to the
ocean
Sat
got the brushes
ready
the paints
took a
deep breath
Looked up
and
felt
completely
intimidated
Decided
there
must be
a
way
to take
what I see
and
just cup it
in
my hands
and
pour
that gently
onto
the
canvas
Someone walked
by
kidded me
“Not feeling
inspired?”
I went
home
with a
big
smile
on
my face
and
an untouched
canvas
Behind me
there
was
greater artistry
than
imaginable
The rear view mirror
shouted
“This
is far greater
than
anything
you
could
ever
hope
to
bring
to
light!”
