When You Realize Who the Artist Is


The blues will sometimes steal your heart
Make you feel alone     apart
But grab some paint a brush or two
And let the color flow through you
Let the motions swirl and swim
Until you paint yourself back in
The lines and curves
The swish and splat
The rough    the smooth
the sharp     the flat
The highs     the lows
Just set them free
to take the shapes
they want to be
and as your hands
and eyes join in
your thoughts may sputter
swirl and swim
but now you’re caught
You’re painted in
Your heart engaged
Alive again
