Dual Coast

My Masterpiece by Milt Montague

my best work is at first light
faint rays of day
below the horizon
palliate the black night
a glimmer in the mother lode

chip away corners to reveal
the idea imprisoned within
chop and carve as my opus evolves
from an amorphous glob
unsure of its final form

instinct guides my cursor forward
then my half-baked creation
lies fallow for a day
regenerating till morning

revisit the unborn embryo
separation has allowed my mind
to more accurately shape the result

resume the molding
to the picture in my head
my magnum opus is taking form
albeit crudely so

the clouds have mostly gone
a glimpse of my tour de force
another 24 hour dormant spell
further fashioning
shaping my work of art

at last the final polishing
a word or two need refinement
an idea not quite clear is clarified
my creation emerges
my brainchild is complete

my masterpiece

I hope
