Cultural Bridges

 

 

 

for him, today was a good day
arrived early
tucked away at the back
acknowledged by everyone


not religious
but accepted and harmless,
his art the bridge between cultures

for him, today was to be a good day


dust filled rays pierced the gloom
and his idle thoughts,
the moment arrived

his hand moved swiftly, silently
each carbon stroke, deliberate
each crease, each fold mapped out
his eyes missed nothing


a tiny dark haired angel riding sunbeams
to far off daydreams
captured with skill,
an artist’s touch
and love

    What an amazing response to the prompt! I can just see the artist doing this, the light falling on the children, and on his paper as he sketches... your ability to draw with words is just marvelous. Lita

    Being an artist myself, I loved line 7 "his art a bridge between cultures" . I also especially loved: "a tiny dark haired angel riding sunbeams".
