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
