The Painter

I am a painter.

And all my pallette holds are colors;

To paint the sky blue when it darkens;

To draw the Sun in the sky when it rains.

I am a painter and I doodle rainbows in my heart,

So that they spill over me and on those that I love.

The canvases, however, are always white.

Harsh and bland, like the truth is;

And in it's face, my colors are only masks.

But, I don't set my brush down.

Broken crayons, and dirty rags aside,

What I have to give is light.

The colors drip and the paint stains,

But they are still colors.

And I love colors.
