Over mountains and valleys <br />Soaring the skies in view <br />Random truths and wisdom <br />Coming only in soltitude <br /> <br />Painting pictures at night <br />While sleeping on his heart <br />Arising only on impulse <br />Fancing a fresh new start <br /> <br />Taking all our sorrows <br />And rhyming it away <br />Etching out our memories <br />As they fade away <br /> <br />Painting refreshing springs <br />From where souls can drink <br />Soothing lonely spirit's <br />With yet only his ink <br /> <br />From ordinary meanings <br />Yet with no pretense <br />Distilling the emotions <br />Making so much sense <br /> <br />Fragrant sights and scenes <br />Nature's blossoming vines <br />Painting vineyards of crimson <br />Where old memories reside <br /> <br />Drawing inspirations <br />From the silence of night <br />Soaring among eagles <br />Amid their endless flight <br /> <br />Painting as The Creator <br />Vivid sights and sounds <br />Yes He also a poet <br />Just look around<br /><br />Barry A.
