On paper,

On paper
How the painter
Paints
Angels
And butterflies,
On paper
How one escapes to childhood
To dreams,
To visions,
On paper
How life is transformed
To universality,
On paper
How everything transmutes
To forms
That hold colors,
On paper
How poetry rises,
Dances,
Sings,
On paper
How fingers draw heavenly scenes,
On paper
How one surrenders to finesse,
On paper
How life ends and begins...
