I watched you paint,
and your world flew me away
colors blown by the wind
hues splashed by the seas

I watched you paint,
for you left the bareness
that succumbed me
in hopeless authenticity

I watched you paint,
and I watched helplessly
of how you enslaved me
with your poetic body.

..........

There is no more turning back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn..

Jaguar my friend. . .

The brush of life has painted you with many dark hues. . . it is now time to throw those colors away and begin with a new pallette. . . the colors of the sun and the wind. . . the colors of love. . .

 That which gives light must endure burning

You're just exorcising the demons aren't you?  I do that too!  We all move on eventually in our own way    A pretty picture you painted with this one  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.
