Now I understand.
It's true.
Puddles, colored,
pulling hue...
a fade of some transparency,
an edge, in dredge--
of loving you..
A pull of paint--
the white, shows through--
loving, loving, loving you...
apologies
of too much blue--
urgency--
of line, subdued....

if only, I could sign my name...
A page of white, forever changed.

Serenity,
I felt every word and every stroke of that brush. Hang in there.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

sign your name
in shades of red
showing your heart
forever changed
showing your soul
in shades of blue
to the one
who can see every hue. . .

If you were to give me a canvas of white with no more than one of your smiles or tears then it would be one cherished by me as a masterpiece.
