With Just A Single Brush Stroke

Depending on the artist's medium his pigments Ambitious colours take centre stage on the page Take Gauguin for instance, would use bright flat colours With simple strong-outlines vibrant, sunset-richness Awoke - feelings dreamy his inner eye could gage Red foregrounds that were calmed by tree green clusters. Those set back in the distance with cobalt blue skies And golden, ripe fields in the midst-of-harvesting Peasants bent double with just a single brush stroke Yes, colour transforms and can come to symbolise Creation its people all their wondrous blossoming Something likes an emotion with an upstroke- Turn-of-hand, Van Gogh could make the world swirl alive The land was a moving field of shimmering locus Each dash pulsing like a heartbeat pounding for breath His canvases, radiated with life, he didn't contrive To impress, his art no matter, where you focus Has a living energy long, after his death.
