The Glass Artist

The soft brushes slide

Off my tongue, ready to glide

Across the canvas glass

Ready to paint something grass.

The bristles are together

Soft as a feather

To be dipped in paint

Only to taint

A clear piece, once sand

To depict a land

Where one may stray

When running away.

The land is vast

But will not last

As it is not real,

Lacking a seal

To keep you inside

Stashed aside

In a lovely landscape

You cannot escape

Though you want to remain

Your mind has a stain

Of a life you could live

If only you give

The canvas your life

Not only in strife

But for all of your day

You'll continue to pray

For a life on glass

Not made for you, Lass.
