The Eternal Apprentice

Details! Masterful strokes fill the page.
Skills! Effortless maneuvers through the horde.
Colors! Mixing, blotting, knifing, layering.

In the past, the cause was boredom. But now...
Hobbies, too many; Projects, without ends.
Call it youth, but deep down you know it's fear.

Always learning and taking half-pint steps.
Vacillating between complacency
And overzealous, pipe-dream ambitions.

Stop avoiding difficult decisions.
Find rapture in responsibility.
Begin training and become a master.
