The Writer's Way
Words flow from her fingers
like the notes a songbird sings
With those words, she paints for us
haunted hallows and broken wings.
Images showing pain endured
and obstacles all lives bring
She creates beauty and wonder
and worlds of pure imagination.
Floating feathers, Sunlight's warmth,
both welcoming sensations
Inspiration from a lightbulb moment,
Art's message comes her way.
It is up to her what to paint
to put that message on display.
