Painting In Blue

I sat up on a cloud today..
I blew on the tree tops to make them sway..
Like wave of paint brushes they colored my sky..
All different shades of blue as the sun passed by..
As the night poured its way, the moon was my light..
Deeper strokes of blue as my cloud was still in sight..
I then feathered my color into the horizon as the stars 
where sprinkled in..
My canvas of a blue sky with brush less trees is where
I've been...

This one was very creative thinking, Michael. I'm glad to see it before getting off here. I just need to type up a narrative but I think I am overdoing it at my computer now. It's my left shoulder and I'll be only a week in a sling. I think I am starting to feel what they did to my back now. haha. Or else it's not good to be sitting here like I am doing! thanks for asking. See ya later. Luv, Andrea
