A Clear Statement/writers disgest April PAD Challenge 2019 Day 13
A Clear Statement
View from my window
Is Southeast
This morning light grey
The lightly snow-covered mountains
Silent
Across the room
The windows reveal
A view of the Northwest
The morning light appears brighter
Almost a glare on this grey mourning
There are breaks in the clouds
The clear blue New Mexico sky shows through
Perhaps a promise of a sunny day, after all
The morning light, in its stillness, sets the mood
But I have no time for moody mornings
My work waits
And I have plans for the day
Like writing a poem
I set the structure
And then I go to work
Trying to “get it right”
Making clear exactly what I want to say
It is the same for a painting
Yesterday I tried everything I know
Today I will try something else
Continually making changes
Until I am satisfied
I have done what I can
What I am saying is clear
