Paint, checked,
brush, checked,
painter, present,
canvas, neat and clean.
Strokes, here, there,
everywhere a splash of color.
A tree, a house, a face,
whatever comes to his mind.
He sees, he feels, he sings
with forms and figures of every kind.
He makes, creates, invents,
musical sounds and secret worlds.
Work, finished,
tools, clean,
inspiration released
and his soul is free.
A genius singer with a brush.
