Ode to a Savvy Sage


With a sudden gust of whimsy
She flings poetic paint
Against a mental canvas taut with expectation--
Prefigured for something other

SPLASH!

Flat expectations behind glazed eyes
Suddenly whirl
Through unanticipated universes of color
Transcending preconceived possibilities
Profoundly framing new dimensions.
