Watercolor pictures
faded memories
cluttering my mind
spilling through my eyes.

Hues of red and blue
stained canvas
masking my youth
smeared with age.

Diluted resistance
lucid lines present
stroking my years
reluctant and used.

Faced with reality
adust canvas
aging image
time soon forgets.

Original:

The Canvas

Water color pictures
and faded memories
Are cluttering up my mind
And spilling through my eyes.

Shades of red and blue
Stain my canvas face;
Hiding signs of youth
And smearing it with age.

Diluted by resistance
And mental disarray,
Memories of my past
Reluctantly fade to gray.

Faced now with reality,
and a vision of what's to come.
A new image covers me--
I think I'll despise this one.

Take care.......Sue

I am blue

I'm anchored in you
