making of a new painting


a new canvas you have, now, given me
expecting me to create a fresh piece of art
with that courage of that cougar alone
on that tree top, far
far away from another life that can pounce
or, gather together what has been hunted down

i pray, now, that you increase, profoundly, within me
that awareness of that fearlessness
hidden deep, deeper
within my deepest well
unreachable to those un-heroic souls
or, those who crown that domesticated cat

then, i will, with your grace already present
transform my life, at present too plain and un-colourful
into a masterpiece that none has ever seen
never before, though it may offend the weak in heart
causing great, and greater embarrassment
to those in business of employing the mediocre
