Sometimes
it's just a snippet
of a painting
that want's to be known

All these pieces
that got lost
in layers of paint
are now just memories
of ideas
that didn't have legs 

This is one
of the many times
where I look back later
and now know
I didn't know 
then
that it was time
to put the brush down
and simply
stop

 .
.
.

oh well
much that is pretty
floats in the field
beyond what we can see
but within what we will forever know
.
