"Dreams of a child"
The beautiful poem by Charmaine Chircop,
"A Life in Sepia and Watercolours"
Resonated with me as I painted this.
When I was just a little girl
I painted soaring seagulls,
In a dawning sky of duck-egg blue.
I painted ladybirds and whimsical butterflies,
A red cottage with square shaped windows,
A misty mountain with a purple hue.
All my fields were evergreen,
With flowers falling like confetti in between.
A rising sun in molten gold so bright,
With shifting leaves along a riverside.
I painted mushrooms covering fairies,
Unicorns, princesses and queens,
Happy trolls and naughty elves
Riding on watercoloured bees.
As such was life, carefree,
As beautiful as dreams.
