Paint me a landscape fields of green

horses run wild by a tranquil stream,

blend into the picture some trees of old

cloud over blue with an horizon of gold.

Sketch me a  portrait of an ageless face

captured forever in one time and place,

shadow the lines show emotion is still

pain or happiness only the eyes reveal.

Carve me a statue so that all may see

a figure of stone to last for an eternity,

pondering forever this unknown cast

outliving the years of future and past.

Write me a story short poem in rhyme

write from the heart unrolled like twine,

a book for a journey to read while in bed

each stanza remembered sentence read.
