Peace and Tranquility in Blue

  

Its open for interpretation, really,

this canvas painted in blue hue tones,

 

carrying a certain coolness,

abstract yet metaphorical,

 

an ice cube perhaps,

tempering the humidity of summer,

 

or, maybe a visible inflection in the current,

of a bug skittering across water,

 

or, even a piece of crushed glass in kaleidoscope fractures.

 

I don’t really know myself, to be honest,

it seemed to take a life of its own,

 

divine intervention almost,

a willing brush inspired like a Bible minded writer,

 

not to be fully comprehended until some years later,

perhaps what Picasso felt in one of his maddening periods.

 

So, here is a painting laid before you,

seeking purpose and meaning,

 

even neglected by the artist,

seeking a well-placed vantage on your white wall,

 

to be pondered, puzzled over,

this canvas creation awaiting your inspired late night dream.
