Painting with yourself

Creativity strikes in the most unusual ways.

It was a simple jolt of randomness

Inspiration at the strike of the pen

A lone thought of mischief and what ifs

Curiosity and challenge

Has there been an attempt quite like this?

 

A brush was set

A mirror prepared

A mindful of symbols and lilies fill you

Colors and pencils upon the canvas

Even you started with a sketch

 

Your eyes meet

You traces your marks and set them in color

You feel a bit of movement

Smile

A somewhat strange yet common action

 

Why, the amusement?

'Tis a mystery forever

A mystery you alone shall know

A meaning you alone can truly decipher

Such is the magic of your brush

Smile, Mona Lisa

"Your eyes meet
You traces your marks and set them in color"
Many ways to draw. Sweet smile and a kind hello can bring to life our imagination. We can paint with words or paint. I enjoyed the flow of the tale in the poem and the strong ending. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
