THE PAINTING<br />
A couple came upon the doorway,<br />
the rugged gentleman entered<br />
unable to see through<br />
scratched, unsurfaced walls,<br />
dingy floors, patterned with dirt,<br />
never grasped the beauty<br />
beyond, behind<br />
trashed corners,<br />
bobbed, shook his head in disgust.<br />
But the lady, an artist,<br />
crossed that threshold<br />
with opened eyes, sparkled large,<br />
her mouth exploded with smile<br />
as she imagined the room<br />
just another canvas to splash<br />
bursting colors,<br />
transfer dingy dull<br />
into magnificent,<br />
after erasing garbage grime<br />
with soap, water, hard work.<br />
