Painting Whispers

The concentric ripples glitter, 

the glint of sunlight upon the water sparkle!

The sound of splashing in the pond

the swishing of tails, the shimmering of scales

the graceful twirl...everything else pales

in comparison and transports us to another world.

What matters if  the magic of art appears

not on a painting but in the mysterious whispers

of  golden, speckled and spotted creatures

beauteous of form and splendid of spirit 

that bespeak the perfection of Nature's

gift to the blank canvas of life?

Brightening  our lives with a different splash

 - of colours and loveliness and delight

creating altogether a different glint

- of amazement in the eyes, so bright,

of children at the wonderment of what they deem

as magical, fantastical and enchanting

holding them captive in the allure 

of a kingdom totally absorbing.

Here's to Nature which begets Art 

which in turn precipitates 

an appreciation of Beauty!
