Like life, this painting
Is full of happy accidents:
The graphic elements from earlier attempts
That show through;
The other-worldliness of all those little planets
(The result of not-enough paint on a sponge),
The starry sky effect —
Because the new paint didn’t quite adhere
To the old —
Like this painting, each of us
Is a work in progress; a blend
Of new discoveries over old experiences—
Some hidden; some revealed —
And, every once in a while,
The combination results in moments of pure joy.
