ABSTRACTION

So many people are puzzled
By abstract paintings
You see.
Attempting to explain them
Seems to have been left to me.

Take a simple example
Perhaps a family.
One stroke is the family
One more could be a tree!

Use imagination
When looking for delight.
It jumps right out, and catches you
When you study it just right.

You'll see horses, people, fantasy.
They come alive in painting strokes.
So keep looking you'll enjoy it
Not just sophisticated, but there for common folks.

This sounds familiar, Mom ... is it new? Anyway, whether it was my first read or a re-read, I enjoyed it! Reminds me of your colorful work of art hanging on my bedroom wall. It's called "Synergy". Love you. - Kathy
