I am still around
looking always looking
and glad, even excited
to see what is right here
 that belongs to me my life
paintings.         the push
of the brush remembered
as colors found their place
and the tubing       the gentle
 resistance felt as the trunk
and branches curved to my touch
it is about love, you know
creating a world of praise
for all that being alive
can give,           has given me
                   has given us.
