A Portrait Of Grace

a light brush attribute on the painted canvas
look onto the field
return to the canvas
this time with a new discovery
colors of red, white & green
living in a world so very mean

we staked are claim on the scope of life
amidst the bitter turmoil & strife
life a decorated canvas to appeal
a portraint of grace
spread abroad on my Peyton Place
as cold hearts that are etched in stone

back to the canvas and as never before
hence the vast opened door by which to explore
a splash of black to read between the lines
last time i checked everything was fine
created and crafted by a great design

filter through the sun as it radiates on my face
it begins to permeate those who are dull in faith
at last the living portrait is done
or has it just begun ?
