The Lone Artist

Brush in hand

He paints

The blue sky grey;

The cliff edge - 

He shrouds

In sea-mist mystery.



In a chance moment

We pass

And glance the ethereal. 



Against the elements,

He stands

Impressive, 

Calm,

Expressive, 

Purpose-poised...



And with each self-assured stroke

Blends the forces of nature

With an azure-eyed smile.
