Paint by L.C. Mayfield
Where once there was a time
When my mind’s eye was filled
With particular images and colors
Now there is an empty canvas
With greater potential
Eyes alight with the new dawn
Brush in hand ready to make the next stroke
Bold and strong enough
Forging a way forward
Heart of hope keeping fear at bay
I have been writing since I was in elementary school. I turned to poetry in my twenties, enjoying the flow of words and ways to express my thoughts and memories. My favorite thing about sharing my words is when it touches and moves someone, and it's always unexpected so humbling. I am also fond of traveling, trying new things, and drinking coffee in cafes.
