Paint (Five Minute Friday)

I haven't written all week.
But it's Friday.
Time to write for 5 minutes.
And link up here.

Today's word: Paint


GO

The leader is an artist, 
called upon to sculpt  a masterpiece
from mud piles and disappointed dreams.

The leader casts a vision, 
like the graceful dance of a fishing line
that submerges beneath the tranquil sheen of water.

The leader is painter, 
commissioned to sling hope onto the canvas of the present,
a mess of beauty in Pollock style.

The leader is afraid
but ventures brave strokes 
developing a landscape,
imagining what is yet unseen,
conjuring inspiration of the yet-to-come,
forging trails through uncharted wood.

The leader
holds not a brush
but an image
expressed through words and pictures
that layer into backdrop
that shifts focus from the unrealized
to the possible invisible.

The leader is creator.
Framing past, 
shaping present, 
molding future.
Right in the thick of now.

The leader is you.
Wife.
Husband.
Mother.
Father.
Friend.
Pastor.
Employee.
Employer.
Sister.
Brother.
Writer.
Believer.
Teacher.
Nurse.
Runner.
Painter.
Sculpter.
Artist.
