Painted in corners
White space right before the floor hits the baseboards
Tightening grip on smooth handled brushes
Forming strokes
Precise
Perfect lines..

quietly stop now please

Just STOP!

Take the paint can
Hear the liquid slosh against the sides
Feel the swish and swig it

SPLASH!!

The color on the wall!
Driping down
In unformed patterns
Fast raindrop drips
Run hands through
The colorful mess
SMELL
Rich paint
Seasonal bliss
Autumn leaves melting
Leaves crumbling
Paint running
FINALY,
Mind free from sanity

I love it!  Breaking out of the rigid confines that society paints us into...stepping out of the box to create what fills our soul...and just being ourselves for a change.
