A New Beginning! For an Artist

The clouds break, and the canvas of the sky,

Once bruised with storm and shades of somber grey

Is painted now with promise, soft and shy,

A gentle blush to greet the coming day.

And all the world, which held its worried breath,

But now I let the colours shine fresh and deep.

No ending is truly so tortured as it may seem.

The quiet earth has treasures held in sleep.

The door that slammed upon the bitter rain but

A child's smile is radiant and their glow makes the whole world beam.

A dark path that some took with God's help,

Has opened now to let the sunshine through.

The broken pieces left from grief and pain,

An artist's imagination is brilliant and brand new.

That is why a canvas is full of emotions that an artist has gone through.

So let the past be like a fading sound,

A distant echo on a lonely street.

For in this breath, upon this hallowed ground,

The future waits, a promise, clean and sweet.

A new beginning is good for you and me.

Leave all your grief behind on the canvas and start new.

This is what you are meant to do.
