Shirley Baker children draw on pavement France 1960
Find time for drawing
Pictures
On the pavement of your mind.
Remember
The dry feel of chalk on fingers
The odd satisfaction in
Colors
Merging in the rain.
Put aside the rush of feet
The soles of to-do lists
The pressures of perfection.
Pavement pictures do not require
Standards
Other than imagination and
A bit of emptiness,
A soft rock,
A hand.
Make room for pavement pictures
On the pace-space
Of your mind.
Let the squiggles free
So the sketch
You never knew was there
Could stretch
A doodle
To the sun.

Lovely poem! 🙂

Aw Sonnische… thank you! And what an idea! …. 😉 Though at the moment it may have to wait in line behind a new novel which will be published any day now, and another one well in the works … But … who knows! xoxo
