Poetry

poetry by a painter who now paints her art in words "we tread too loudly, too violently on our earth. we smear our dark, ugly night all over the canvas and call it art." #80 in poetry [12/22/16] | © 2016 lookforthatlight

                                              you're a blank canvas 
just waiting to be painted on. 
don't let others paint it for you, 
paint-dusted one.
paint your swaths of vibrant colors 
yourself,
because this is your story,
your canvas, 
and you are the artist 
of your own fate.

                          A/N: 
inspired by this quote: life is an art, not a science. you make it up as you go.
