Revised Rose Covered Roads

April in Abundance

Over the years I’ve tried different ways to incorporate my paintings with my poetry and I feel really proud of this one.

In January, I posted a painting I did with acrylics and painter’s tape on black canvas, accompanied with a poem, entitled, Rose Covered Roads. Since then, I have worked more on the painting and finally found a beautiful way to join my poem on the canvas.

Let me know what you think! Stay tuned for more canvas and poetry collaborations over the spring and summer months.

:.Thank you for taking the time to listen to my heart:.

Press play for the full experience🌻

Twists & turns lead to 
crossroads of thought. 
Perpendicular paradigms 
in my peripheral view. 

Wander left and get lost 
for a moment. 
Mosey past 
moss-covered vines 
swirling upwards 
towards nurturing. 

Fade far away 
from the corners 
of comparison 
and guilt. 

I’ve built rose covered roads 
to lead me back home. 

A wrong turn is the right choice 
for the lesson to be learned. 

I’m not trying 
to hang out 
on the same tired corner 
for long. 

I must be on my way 
to where the sunflowers 
gaze at the moon 
and bow to the earth 
for holding her with 
such 
grace.
