Try Painting the Water

Bu2

Try standing above the Thames
or the Mississippi
with an easel and oils

Try capturing the color
of the water
with poise

Try getting the light's
reflection
just right

Try painting the wings
of a bird
in flight

Hovering, sailing,
swimming in air
outright
above what you are
trying to paint

Take a deep breath
and try painting
again

That bird will be reflected
again and again
if you do it right
