Masterpiece

                                                                  

 

Have you ever seen a lake change colors,

Metamorphose, transmute its normal translucent hues

To the holy roses, yellows, golds, and oranges

Cimabue, Giotto, and Masaccio used,

To decorate the sacred flesh of their Renaissance frescoes?

 

I did, this cool, northern Wisconsin Wednesday evening,

After the sun departed the July-like day,

Its comet-tail paintbrush trailing,

In the wake of its fading away,

The glorious dabs and strokes of its celestial masterpiece.
