A Picture...For You

For today's prompt, we were given a bunch of quotes from different writers / poets / famous people. I chose a line from Leonardo da Vinci. There is so much more I could have written in this piece, but I chose to keep it simple. Please enjoy.

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”

― Leonardo da Vinci

I write my words

to paint a picture,

one of hope,

of love.

I’d awaken passion,

if only I could.

We could walk on beaches,

listen to ocean’s roar,

dedicating that moment

to the rest of our lives.

I’d dry your tears,

write your pain,

your suffering

into the depths

of the sea.

My pen draws pictures

of swirling lines,

surrounding us,

holding us close

in each other’s arms.

I pray my inkwell

never runs dry,

my quill flying across

pages of love.

I pray my words

comfort you,

warm you

and fill you

with pictures of us.

Together always.
