Strangely, I awoke yesterday, with a feeling of panic.
No money, and an aching, wondering once again
How can time pass me by, and leave on the doorstep
Emptiness...so I busied myself, painting my feelings
Across the wide expanse of walls, and sponged the tears,
Leaving my trails for all to see.

I bordered them in my blackness, exposing them
To the light of day, hoping the sprays of mauve and blue
And touches of teal, would be my gift to share,
To fill the emptiness, with a piece of the rainbow.

Stepping back, I admired the presence of spirit
That was left behind for all to see, and then realized
The "all" was only me. And that even filling the empty
With color and pride, I would still have to continue on the path
To complete my rainbow, the one that is just around the corner
Hidden behind the clouds of my days...mysting my life
With droplets of hope, as I wait to reign upon and complete
The canvas, I have stretched before me.

Very beautiful, Wynter! Your rainbow doesn't have to be completed in one day...just one day at a time!

I paint with my words and I loved this., the border is beautiful. Yes, I know about giving up. Many say I should have a long time ago but I'm Irish. What can I say?
As long as I can write and express I will not give up. And don't you either!

BC- I worked so hard on that wall..I should call it the wall of tears...the ending of the sad ones and the beginning of the happy ones.....of satisfaction
