Looking Toward The Finish

"Charging Ahead"

It isn't a race, but still you

look for the finish line, the mark

that says, this work is done,

will hold no more paint

scraped, spread, loaded. layered,

pressed, paired, plucked, played,
splattered, seized the paint

will go no farther.

You find the finish line, a dash

or two between obstacle and doubt,

vision, prayer,

or  slow recognition:

"done" you might say,

"this one will stay".
