Grabbing the brush
Waiting for just the
Right inspiration.
Putting the paint
On the canvas
With utmost care.

A wispy cloud here,
An evergreen there.
Dewdrops hang on
Delicate petals.
Mountains soaring
Into unknown realms.

A pearlescent sheen
Glides through the sky
Reminding of times
Of laughter and joy.
The base of mountains
Reminding of the
Hardships to come.

Painting just the feelings
In the heart; how
Beautiful confusion
Can look
With every color
Mixed so perfectly
Flawed.
How wonderful
Sadness can look
When the liquid
Falls smoothly,
Harshly over
The edge,
Crashing down
On the heart.
