Sketches

With a pencil in hand and the sketchbook flipped open

I draw scenes of the beaches, seashells, and sky

I love my drawings and feel like I’m hoping 

To become professional at drawing and not buy

The sketches I draw are like black and white photographs

Of beauty, meaning, and wonder in tandem

Hopefully in the future people will ask

How did this artist become so good so fast?

The sketchbook is beautiful with 200 pages of white paper

Extraordinary for its contour and layers upon layers

In the sketchbook is picture and picture, with many themes

Like heaven, the sun, the sky, and love beams

The day is over and night comes still

I find myself saddened by the day’s sudden end

The landscape is beautiful with many fields and hills

The picture is wonderful for its ability to heal wounds and mend
