This painting of red heliconia surprised me. The image of their leaves waving bravely overhead sparked this poem, signaling a brand new dimension for my art.

Set Your Sails High

Set your sails high for skies that are clear
Let your mind wander both far and near.
Let your mind wander, let your mind play,
Who knows what might happen later today.
