Painted by an Unseen Hand

Explosions of color
breaking through the swath of of green...
Fiery orange, smoldering red, glowing yellow
all vying for my attention
as the last rays of the sun
makes them shimmer before my eyes
Birds fly here and there
as the cries rend the air
gently alighting on the vibrant limbs
as if afraid the branches may be as hot
as the colors of the leaves
What is there to believe
when it is all sensory?
There is only the moment,
lost in the vision;
the division between brain and mind,
between body and soul
each fighting for their footing
hoping to seize control
and hold sway over emotion
Let it all in and see what comes out
Color, glorious color
makes you stand in wonder
at the intricate simplicity of palette...
