THE UNPAINTED PORTRAIT
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
The fringed wind
Blows
Across the still
Sea
Never once
Does it
Disturb
The beauty
Of the
Horizon
The sun
Sits
Perfectly in the sky
A portrait
That has been
Seen
Or never been
Painted
It awaits
For the
Artist
To show up
And capture the
Moment
And to
Display it
For the
World to see
In the distance
An unexpected
Storm brews
Nature is taking
Its course
And our canvas
Is always changing
