An ongoing series of my poems intended to show support for the Beacon community. Each poem is inspired by a Beacon Main Street business or service.


Your participation is invited! - - If you wish to collaborate, please send original artwork, photos, music, and other content by both adults and children to larrysansone@gmail.com. I will post these submissions here, along with the poems.


The Painted Question
(Inspired by Theo Ganz Studio )


Do we stand before a canvas 
Or behold it from within,
Where in panoramic romance,
Does the painted edge begin?

Are we simply an observer,
Or become somehow as one,
Consciousness redrawn forever,
As wet colors meld and run?

Does an image without witness,
Become darkness hung in air, 
Does a thought prove our existence,
If perception goes unshared?

Is each painting left unfinished,
While it patiently awaits,
One last stroke to fall upon it,
As the soul applies its shade.
