The blank canvas blinked back at me,

curiosity filling it's page

Would it be lush green fields today?  

or would it be cold blue mountains?

Would it be gentle strokes of the brush, whispered embraces

or would it be angry slashes of dark hues?

But all I did, all I could do

was stare at the canvas

blinking away tears, trying to grip the brush,

wondering, how to paint these emotions?

The brush got dipped in blue.

The girl stared at the ocean, as her string of pearls broke.

One by one, they bounced and sank into the water

returning to their home.

Yes, the pearls were home.

But what about the girl, and her precious whites

whom she loved dearly?
