Impressions
An Acrostic Poem
Still life everywhere requires an appreciative artist;
In the quiet in-between moments, in cafés and aboard trains,
Life makes painters of us all.
Expressionism, Realism and Abstraction all thrive in the mind's eye, yet
None of these make the first, flawed, and most honest style sketched soundlessly within.
Comfort and melancholy complement each other in this truth:
Each of us will ever be but an Impression to a thousand once-glimpsed strangers.
