I do not Paint ~ I only Write

I do not paint
but by word of explanation
I color your
thoughts

I pick up not a brush,
but my quill
and wash your
soul with rainbows

I have an eye
for color, but no
artistic bent
to wend a lovely
picture
that you might gaze upon
and fall into
as Alice did

but I do enjoy
what color means

knowing that purity, joy and glory
await me in white


fire, blood and charity
are wrapped in robes of red


truth and heaven I realize
when looking up at blue skies


understanding my affinity
for my love of green,
in the hope of eternal life,
a rebirth of nature


how purple really means
sorrow and suffering


and

black, most significant,
an absence of life


so it is fitting today
that I share with you, this
lovely Easter morning

how these colors
and their religious symbolism

come forth to meet you
greet you
welcome you
remind you

that I do not paint, I only write
and I only write to
leave you with
a smile

I disagree..you do paint with your words...and this is a very cool premise and inspire my dear poetess

Lovely writing. I too know this feeling, of painting with my words. You speak so well for all poets. Lovely!

You are still an artist, you write so artistically.. your words don't need an illustration to see their beauty.  Keep doing what you do best!
