Artist by Geraldus John

Hesitating,
the artist
engages with
and manipulates
scarce light.

Gaining
confidence
as fresh
inspirations
begin to bite.

Dominating
and taming
unruly forces
with shameless
delight.

Struggling,
with dread,
to displace
sullen shadows
of approaching night.

Aghast
by failure
inevitable
errors
incite.
