Magpie #57 – spontaneous from prompted poetry

wanting the birds to sing in winter,

I stoop to pet a plant
inadvertantly knocking over the light fixture.

I miss every painting I’ve ever sold.

    I never actually sold any of my paintings, but I've always pondered the feelings I might have.

    Beauty held is the heart of painting…to let it pass forever leaves an empty space….you remind here of it…bkm
