Watercolors

A voice so soothing
to the point
of a calmness
unknown
letting colors flow
and run together
creating...
forming
a work of art
in tears.

You paint a lovely picture as well.

tomorrow just a mystery.
And if today is good to me,
it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday!

Robert,
That is so sweet! You brought a tear,
Everyone tells me I have a very calm voice. Now, how did you pick that up from a written page? That's unbelievable.
Thank you so much
Elizabeth

You have described her voice perfectly! Sweet and serene! Very good! How did you do that?!

I wrote this quite a while back...but seeing the poem by Elizabeth with the word "watercolor" in it...made me think of this one.

I am glad it fits you Elizabeth!!

I do want to make one thing clear...I am speaking of tears of joy, not sadness and pain.

Tears of joy are the wonderful liquid we can use to paint pictures of so many things.
