2009 Poem ‘The painter’ by Walter Lerchner, U.S.A. from the Book ‘Poems of Love and Seeking’ Pages 65 to 68

The painter paints with Love
a painter in the painting

Behold, the painter’s Love
makes the painter in the painting
a source of life

The painter looks with Joy
at the painter in the painting

The painter in the painting
paints with Love
other painters in the painting

The painter in the painting looks with Joy
at the other painters in the painting

Behold, the painter in the painting’s Love
makes the other painters in the painting
full of life

The other painters in the painting see
their painter in the painting

The other painters paint with Love
an image
of their painter in the painting

The other painters look with Joy
at the image
of their painter in the painting

The other painters look with Love
at each other

The painter looks with Joy and Love
at the image
of the painter in the painting

The painter paints with love
the next painter in the painting
