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

Happy Easter, Everyone

Sunshine - happy Easter to you. You may not paint, but you do write well. But then again, I bet if you wanted to you could paint up a storm...

One who writes as well as you does not need to paint...the writing says more than a picture ever could....

superb

oh my oh my...look whose bringing in spring on a sunbeam
very very lovely poetess of the sun

Ocean wrapped around the sun
Sky fell down & pulled us in
stole away my oxygen
left me breathless in the blue
left me breathless there with you.

I think you are a painter too...
you painted my heart
into a bright pink
after being so blue
with just a simple touch
of your magic brush!!

A Special and Happy Easter Karilea!!!

Ah, Sun-sis, I have to disagree...if anyone on this site can paint, it's YOU and you do it in panoramic style with every verse!  What a fun write to read, and here's hoping that your Easter is full of peace and fulfillment...

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

All of you have managed
in your best poetic way
to fill up this, my Easter Basket
with everything you say!

No calories to be found,
no chocoholic dreams...
just some tender hearted thoughts
to make this Sunshine beam!

Thank you all for reading, and for enjoying this with me!

Karilea, I believe this is just about one of the finest poems you have written. And believe me, your words paint loud and clear!

Love the way this looked on the screen.
