Gentle Hands
by Li Jili 李吉利 (Chinese Pen Name for Tim Kavi)
A poem that celebrates the work of Artist 冯涛
gentle hands
tested and found true
rode wings
of feathered friends
in view
gentle hands
sculpted lines
flowers
no darkness
never night
but in Summer's sun
so bright
gentle hands
with promise
drew
sketched
painted
inspired
by family's love
we too
gentle hands
breezes
of inspiration
birds flew in sky
landed on branches
ducks and other
fowl played
nearby
gentle hands
we came from afar
paid homage to
the creatures
who swam
and did fly
and saw
Nature's beauty
from 冯涛
gentle hands
so greatly seen
so near
from the artist
my family knew
manifested
in power and grace
they do appear.
Poet's Note: This is a poem celebrating the work of Chinese artist, 冯涛. Here my name is Li Jili which is my Chinese pen name. I recently had the pleasure of visiting his home and watching him work in Shandong Province.
