If I were to paint you
     would you be blue today?
or bursting bright in orange delight,
     reflecting the sunshine’s glow?

My palette is a mess these days
     muddy hues swirl themselves without warning
as if skies were storming themselves away
     relentlessly upon an endless horizon

But wait a minute...
the brush suddenly cries,
tells me my palette lies,
and if I simply hold my brush
at a different angle

rainbows shall fall upon my blank canvas
     as if sent just for me to see
the miles of darkness fade
     even as the sun sets

I see reflections of poetic light
     surrounding me.

Kacy~
Sweet lady ... you ARE poetic light~
How much I enjoy the versatility of your thoughts~

This one has a softness about it that becomes you~

Kacy...you are such a beautiful soul.  
This is so touching, so reflective of you.
It's got to be one of your best (do I say that every time?).   Keeping it...

The way I see it, your palette holds more than just the primary colors.  I enjoyed this one much and the softness reigns in this one.

Kacy,

Very nice and I loved the last line!

When we change our viewpoint, we change the picture.  This is a different side to your writing.  I really liked it.  Ken
