I’ve been gathering treasures –
rare rubies, diamonds,
garnets covered with dust.

My drawer full of unfinished starts,
daring explorations,
precious marks, bold strokes.

Colors that flow in
new combinations,
all hiding.

Hoping someday
to be seen
by an unknown soul
with an open heart.

Come,
the drawer is waiting.
